Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The MAVLink TIMESYNC Protocol V2 is not precise enough for some applications, and it's bespoke. It also doesn't guarantee sync with the GPS, which is instead estimated using Jitter Correction. I'd like ArduPilot to support a clock synchronization protocol that is standardized and supported by nice GNSS units such as the Trimble PX-1. This allows the GNSS System, ArduPilot, and the companion computer, and even some cameras/sensors to all use the same clock.

I propose PTP per RFC-8173 and IEEE 1588-2008. This should achieve 10uS precision.
