Configure ntp for networking devices

Network NTP Settings

Ansible role that defines ntp servers for networking devices.

The configuration of the role is done so that it shouldn't be necessary to modify the role for any configuration. All settings can configured by changing role parameters or by declaring new config as variable.

Please report any issues or send PR.
