Description

Once we have a zone for the NTP daemon running (https://github.com/oxidecomputer/omicron/issues/2221), we'll want to be able to plumb configuration info to this daemon. TBD if this is calling an interface, reaching into the zone and tweaking a file, or something else.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #2221 to understand how the NTP daemon zone is created. Determine how client and server configuration, including leap-second handling, should reach the daemon; the work is done when the configuration mechanism and required behavior are defined.
