pps: LinuxPPS clients support

Each PPS source can be registered/deregistered into the system by using
special modules called "clients".  They simply define the PPS sources'
attributes and implement the time signal registration mechanism.

This patch adds a special directory for such clients and adds a dummy
client that can be useful to test system integrity on real systems.
