(#14497) Add tinker_panic option for ntpd
Automatically sets tinker_panic 0 when $is_virtual is true. This configuration enables ntpd to cope with large clock skews, such as occur when a VM guest is suspended and resumed. More information is available here: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf
