[time] Allow system clock to be adjusted at runtime

Provide a mechanism to allow an arbitrary adjustment to be applied to all subsequent calls to time(). Note that the underlying clock source (e.g. the RTC clock) will not be changed; only the time as reported within iPXE will be affected. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
