Code Issues Proposed changes

Add ntpd to installer, sync time from active controller during install

Browse Source 
To avoid potential issues due to large time jumps when NTP first syncs
the system time at runtime, this update adds ntpd to the installer
rootfs and adds a pre-script to the kickstarts to sync the time from
the active controller before starting to install the software. This
also ensures that any filesystem timestamps will be accurate right
from the node installation.
