[oe] [meta-networking][PATCH] chrony: Versatile implementation of NTP

chrony is an alternative to ntpd. In particular it may be useful
for quasi-realtime embedded systems that have a pulse-per-second
time reference available and need to rapidly synchronize to it after
boot, which appears to be unachievable with ntpd.

+SUMMARY = "Versatile implementation of the Network Time Protocol"
+DESCRIPTION = "Chrony can synchronize the system clock with NTP \
+servers, reference clocks (e.g. GPS receiver), and manual input using \
+wristwatch and keyboard. It can also operate as an NTPv4 (RFC 5905) \
+server and peer to provide a time service to other computers in the \
+network. \
+\
+It is designed to perform well in a wide range of conditions, \
+including intermittent network connections, heavily congested \
+networks, changing temperatures (ordinary computer clocks are \
+sensitive to temperature), and systems that do not run continuosly, or \
+run on a virtual machine. \
+\
+Typical accuracy between two machines on a LAN is in tens, or a few \
+hundreds, of microseconds; over the Internet, accuracy is typically \
+within a few milliseconds. With a good hardware reference clock \
+sub-microsecond accuracy is possible. \
+\
+Two programs are included in chrony: chronyd is a daemon that can be \
+started at boot time and chronyc is a command-line interface program \
+which can be used to monitor chronyd's performance and to change \
+various operating parameters whilst it is running."
