Add a sample application that acts as a PTP slave using the DPDK IEEE1588 functions.
Also add some additional IEEE1588 support functions to enable getting, setting and adjusting the device time. Some V1 limitations of the app: * The mater clock sequence id and clock id are not verified fully. * Only one master clock is supported/assumed. To be added: * Support for igb and i40e. * Multiple checks on clock source. * Some additional protocol values may be required to be parsed for more complex PTP environments. * Add frequency adjustment as well as absolute time adjustment. * Make the implementation NIC speed independent. * Check for linkup/down.
