[hobbit] badntp

The "bad..." tag is currently handled by the network test tool, so
it only works for network tests. Which is rather silly, but it dates
from the time when I had to work with what the BB daemon could do.

(I'm not even sure if the "ntp" test - despite being done by the
 bbtest-net tool - will obey a "badntp" tag ...)

I'm planning on moving this functionality into the hobbit daemon so
it will work for all tests.


Regards,
Henrik
