services: ntp: Allow large adjustment by default.
This is documented as best practice in `man ntpd', and is required to allow the date to be set correctly when traveling (without having to manually update the hardware clock in the BIOS/UEFI). * gnu/services/networking.scm (<ntp-server>)[allow-large-adjustment?]: Set the default value to #t. * doc/guix.texi (Networking Services): Update documentation.
