chrony doesn't work when no ntp server

[Jeffrey Zhang]

chrony doesn't work when there is no extra ntp server or internet.

in the old implementation, chrony-server only support one server. if you config multi chrony-server, since there is not sync mech in ntp, the client will failed to sync with these servers.

So the better to implement multi ntp server is sync through vip address.

    Support multi local chrony servers

    In the old implementation, if there is no external ntp server, only one
    local chrony server is supported. If multi chrony-server is configured,
    chrony client can not sync with them.

    In the new implementation
    * use VIP to connect chrony-server, which ensure multi local chrony
      servers are supported.
    * chrony servers depend on VIP. So chrony-server group should be
      the same with haproxy group.
    * prevent chrony client sync from itself.
    * Change owner to chrony:kolla for chrony log folder
    * fix keysfile path
    * use chrony user for centos and ubuntu image
    * fix permission issue for /var/lib/chrony folder
