Provide a means to discover NTP status

There are means to configure the HMC to sync to external NTP time servers, but there is no way to demonstrate that the HMC NTP configuration was actually successful. There are some NTP messages logged to /var/log/messages, but those logs are insufficient to tell whether the HMC is actually in sync, or not.

    Thanks.
