Richard Cochran 7df88afab9 Add support for write phase mode.
Recently the Linux kernel's PTP Hardware Clock interface was expanded
to include a "write phase" mode where the clock servo in implemented
in hardware.  This mode hearkens back to the tradition ntp_adjtime
interface, passing a measured offset into the kernel's servo.

This patch adds a new configuration option and logic to support the
write phase mode.

Because the hardware's adjustment bandwidth may be limited, this mode
is only activated when the servo reaches SERVO_LOCKED_STABLE state, in
order to achieve reasonably fast locking times.  Users may control the
SERVO_LOCKED_STABLE state by configuring 'servo_offset_threshold' and
'servo_num_offset_values' accordingly.

Example configuration file highlights:

  unicast_listen          1
  logSyncInterval         0
  logMinDelayReqInterval  0
  first_step_threshold    0.001000000
  step_threshold          0
  clock_servo             pi

  write_phase_mode        1
  servo_offset_threshold  50
  servo_num_offset_values 10
  tsproc_mode             raw
