e463fcab49 refclock_rtc: fix finalization with closed descriptor
If the RTC file descriptor was closed and removed after a read error,
don't try to close and remove it again in the driver finalization to
avoid an assertion failure on the negative descriptor.

4f22883f4e refclock: add new refclock for RTCs
This refclock uses an RTC as reference source. If the RTC doesn't
support reporting an update event this source is quite coarse as it
usually needs a slow bus access to be read and has a precision of only
one second. If reporting an update event is available, the time is read
just after such an event which improves precision.

Depending on hardware capabilities you might want to combine it with a
PPS reference clock sourced from the same chip.

Note that you can enable UIE emulation in the Linux kernel to make a RTC
without interrupt support look like one with irqs in return for some
system and bus overhead.
