Implement ntp client spec with auto support for distro selection

Add a base NTP client configuration dictionary and allow Distro
specific changes to be merged.  Add a select client function which
implements logic to preferr installed clients over clients which
need to be installed.  Also allow distributions to override the
cloud-init defaults.
