It works only for NTP sources, it's the acquire module which
duplicates a lot of the NTP code from ntp_* modules.

I was thinking about implementing an option that would allow chronyd
to step the clock when a threshold is reached. Maybe only a
configurable number of times, to mimic the -g option which ntpd has.
This would work for any sources.

And add an option for NTP sources to make a burst on start and thus
make the initstepslew command obsolete.
