m/n/time: add time service
This adds a bare-minimum time service based on chrony/NTP for keeping
the system clock and RTC on Metropolis nodes accurate.
It also introduces a UID/GID registry in the Metropolis node code
as this is the first unprivileged service to run on the node itself.
It does not yet use a secure time source, this is tracked as #73.
