x300: Enable clock_source and time_source device args
You can now change the time/clock source default through device args:
auto usrp = uhd::usrp::multi_usrp::make(
"type=x300,clock_source=external,time_source=external");
This also enables the use of config files for the clock/time source
implicitly.
