Implement ffcounter, a monotonically increasing cumulative counter on top of the
active timecounter. Provide low-level functions to read the ffcounter and
convert it to absolute time or a time interval in seconds using the current
ffclock estimates, which track the drift of the oscillator. Add a ring of
fftimehands to track passing of time on each kernel tick and pick up updates of
ffclock estimates.

Clock Synchronization Algorithms" project.
