Add provision to disable delay requests. Designated masters who do not
need to calculate pdelay can use this option. This is required by
Automotive Profile to reduce network load.

This commit adds functionality to increase the sync and pdelay request
intervals once gptp synchronization has been achieved. This is useful
while running Automotive Profile where the network is usually static.
Here, we are assuming that the gPTP synchronization is achieved whenever
the last 'n' offsets calculated using the Sync messages are below a
certain threshold. Both, the number of offsets to consider and the offset
threshold are configurable.
In order to support the interval update, a new clock servo state
CLOCK_SERVO_STABLE has been added. The clock will transition to this
state whenever the above condition is satisfied. When this transition
occurs, the slave will send an "interval request" signaling message
asking the master to change the sync interval. It will also update the
pdelay request interval locally.
Four new config options have been added to provide this functionality:
- servo_offset_threshold: All the offset values being considered should
be below this value.
- servo_num_offset_values: number of previously received offset values
to consider.
- operLogSyncInterval: slave will ask the master to switch to this
interval for sending sync messages when the offset stabilizes.
- operLogPdelayReqInterval: the slave will set this interval for pdelay
request messages when the offset stabilizes.

This config option will skip the source port identity verification in
the Sync and Follow_up messages. This option is needed when the announce
messages are disabled because the slave cannot know the identity of
master without announce messages.
This is required by Automotive Profile as part of skipping the Best
Master Clock Algorithm (BMCA).

This option will accomplish 2 things. On the master, it will stop the
announce messages being sent (by disabling FD_MANNO_TIMER timer). On
slave, it will not configure announce message timeouts (by disabling
FD_ANNOUNCE_TIMEOUT timer).
This config option is needed for the Automotive profile as part of
skipping the Best Master Clock Algorithm (BMCA).

This adds config option to specify static roles for master and slave
in the Best Master Clock Algorithm. This is the case for Automotive
Profile where networks are mostly static and role for each device is
known in advance.
masterOnly and slaveOnly will be used to determine the roles for the
devices. Since masterOnly is a per-port config and slaveOnly is a global
config option, role assignment will be slightly odd in case of bridges.
If slaveOnly is set to 1, all the ports will be in slave roles except
for the ones where masterOnly is set to 1. These ports will assume the
master role.
Two new FSMs which will be used for master and slave roles for this
config option have also been added.

Currently the clockIdentity is generated from the mac address of the first
interface/port in config file. This patch add the possibility to set it in
config file.
The reason is if the stack is restarted with a different set of ports, it
may be circumstances when clockIdentity needs to be equal as before
restart even if the port setup is different.

When masterOnly is true, the port always returns NULL when computing
its best foreign master. As a result, the port will never enter the
SLAVE state, and the clock will ignore Announce messages received on
that port.
This attribute is specifically called out in G.8275.1 and G.8275.2,
and it is implied by the "master only" mode G.8265.1. In addition,
this option will probably appear in the next revision of IEEE 1588.

Up until now the transportSpecific field has been treated according to
802.1AS, namely as a field that must match exactly on receive.
However, 1588 mandates ignoring this field for some transports, and
there is equipment in the wild that does in fact set the reserved
bits.
This patch adds an option to ignore the field on receive completely.

The draft Enterprise Profile [1] specifies a hybrid E2E delay mechanism,
where the delay response message is sent "in kind". That is, if the
request is unicast, then the response is also unicast. Apparently this
scheme is already in widespread use in some industries. Also, it makes
sense, because those messages are of no interest to the other slaves in
the PTP network.
Because of the address work already in place, in turns out that adding
this mode is almost trivial. This patch introduces an "hybrid_e2e" option
that enabled the new mode.

Add new time stamp processing modes to return raw delay and offset based
on the raw delay instead of the long-term filtered delay, and to return
also a weight of the sample. The weight is set to the ratio between the
two delays. This gives smaller weight to samples where the sync and/or
delay messages were delayed significantly in the network and possibly
include a large error.

This is a simple servo that provides the NTP SHM reference clock. It
doesn't make any clock adjustments and it always returns with the
unlocked state. It writes all samples to the SHM segment and another
process (e.g. chronyd or ntpd) is needed to read the samples and
actually synchronize the clock. The SHM segment number is set to the PTP
domain number to allow multiple SHM reference clocks running at the same
time.
This is mainly useful when other time sources are available on the
system (e.g. NTP, hardware reference clocks, or other PTP domains)
and a fallback to/from PTP is needed.

Most PHC drivers implement stepping (ADJ_SETOFFSET) by reading the
clock, adjusting the value by the offset and writing it back. This is
not perfectly accurate and if the operation is slow (e.g. due to PCIe
latencies), the error can be in microseconds.
Increase the default first step threshold from 100 nanoseconds to 20
microseconds to step only when the initial offset is larger than
the error in the step.

This servo uses linear regression to estimate current time and
frequency error. The number of points used in the regression is
variable (from 4 to 64 in powers of 2) and is selected by a long-term
statistic of the prediction error.
Future improvements could include tracking of sudden frequency changes
(e.g. due to temperature variations), better stability of the error
statistic when a large offset is corrected, options to set the speed of
the adaptation, minimum and maximum number of points, or an option to
prefer frequency accuracy over time accuracy.

Check the sanity of the synchronized clock by comparing its uncorrected
frequency with the system monotonic clock. When the measured frequency
offset is larger than the value of the sanity_freq_limit option (20% by
default), a warning message will be printed and the servo will be reset.
Setting the option to zero disables the check.
This is useful to detect when the clock is broken or adjusted by another
program.
