main: add -t option to chronyd

Browse Source 
This option sets a timeout (in seconds) after which chronyd will exit.
If the clock is not synchronised, it will exit with a non-zero status.
This is useful with the -q or -Q option to shorten the maximum time
waiting for measurements, or with the -r option to limit the time when
chronyd is running, but still allow it to adjust the frequency of the
system clock.
