Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There is no NTP client configuration available for Linux minions.

Describe the solution you'd like
See #20387, including implementation information.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The alternative is to execute a timedatectl set-ntp on command, which seems silly.

Additional context
N/A

Please Note
If this feature request would be considered a substantial change or addition, this should go through a SEP process here https://github.com/saltstack/salt-enhancement-proposals, instead of a feature request.
