The switch has internal PTP hardware clocks. Add support for it. There are three
clocks:

 * Synchronized
 * Syntonized
 * Free running

Currently the synchronized clock is exported to user space which is a good
default for the beginning. The free running clock might be exported later
e.g. for implementing 802.1AS-2011/2020 Time Aware Bridges (TAB). The switch
also supports cross time stamping for that purpose.

The implementation adds support setting/getting the time as well as offset and
frequency adjustments. However, the clock only holds a partial timeofday
timestamp. This is why we track the seconds completely in software (see overflow
work and last_ts).

Furthermore, add the PTP multicast addresses into the FDB to forward that
packages only to the CPU port where they are processed by a PTP program.
