[time-nuts] TEC party file format?

I don't think any of the current drivers in NTP will do the right thing for 
this project.

The PPS driver is a bit tricky.  It needs help to figure out which second a 
pulse corresponds to.  I think there is a filter in there to reject samples 
that are too far off from what it thinks is a second boundary.
