Description

The Windows.pm had a the variable $time_source hardcoded to nist.gov or windows.com addresses.

Linux.pm update ntp.conf file

Convert code in the configure_time_synchronization to check for and use data from the variable table. If data does not exist, then use hardcoded value.

Data in the variable table can be in the format:
timesource|<FQDN of management node>
or
timesource|global

FQDN of MN - can be if a centrally managed VCL needs to have different values
Global if only using one management node, or all management nodes can use the same value.

Database and Backend completed
