Description

Similar to #270, we don't have any public API for setting the servers used for time synchronization protocols (NTP, SNTP, PTP, maybe others?). We need to add this into the oxide_vpc::VpcCfg object and consume that where it's needed. (That's currently just DHCPv6 replies.)

Research direction

Start by locating the oxide_vpc::VpcCfg definition and the code that generates DHCPv6 replies. Trace how time-synchronization server settings are currently selected, then determine how NTP, SNTP, PTP, and other applicable protocols should consume the new configuration. Done means VpcCfg exposes the servers and DHCPv6 replies use them, with relevant tests updated or added.
