time: Improve documentation of timekeeeping_adjust()
After getting a number of questions in private emails about the math around admittedly very complex timekeeping_adjust() and timekeeping_big_adjust(), I figure the code needs some better comments. Hopefully the explanations are clear enough and don't muddy the water any worse. Still needs documentation for ntp_error, but I couldn't recall exactly the full explanation behind the code that's there (although I do recall once working it out when Roman first proposed it). Given a bit more time I can probably work it out, but I don't want to hold back this documentation until then.
