Because of all of the pain on which timescale should be used, NTP should
also allow the transmission of a TZ Token identifier of some form in the
packet.

This is for forensic use more than anything but would be valuable in a
number of audit models for NTP.

It also makes sense that it should be able to message the client app
about what issues it needs to do to the time to make it proper for the
client's location. Those issues are outside of traditional
synchronization models but should be considered too herein.
