IEEE 1588-2019 specified new UInteger4 type minorVersionPTP field in header, and minorVersionNumber data in portDS. It has the value 1 for IEEE 1588-2019,
and has the value 0 for IEEE 1588-2008.

This patch is to make versionNumber and minorVersionNumber configurable, rather
than using hard-coded IEEE 1588-2008 version, for PTP packets.
This is just preparation for future features support and profiles support based
on IEEE 1588-2019.

It seems IEEE 1588-2019 specified minorVersionNumber in portDS, but not in PORT_DATA_SET management TLV data field. It's confusing. So this patch hasn't
added the minorVersionNumber in portDS making this as a TODO thing.

If there will be support for the new profile, wouldn't the user choose
this profile and ptp4l will change the version automatically?
