Apply the change as a continuous slew rather than as a series of
discrete steps and make it possible to adjust arbitraryly huge
amounts of time in either direction.
In practice this is done by hooking into the same once-per-second
loop as the NTP PLL and setting a suitable frequency offset deducting
the amount slewed from the remainder. If the remaining delta is
larger than 1 second we slew at 5000PPM (5msec/sec), for a delta
less than a second we slew at 500PPM (500usec/sec) and for the last
one second period we will slew at whatever rate (less than 500PPM)
it takes to eliminate the delta entirely.
The old implementation stepped the clock a number of microseconds
