[reproducer] Enable configuration of NTP service on controller-0

controller-0 was the only vm deployed by the framework where the NTP
service wasn't enabled and that led to some issues while parsing log files.

We are going to use the `timesync` role from the `linux-system-roles`
collection just like we do in EDPM compute nodes in the `edpm-ansible` collection.

By default the configuration will enable all the NTP servers provided by the
dhcp server, plus `pool.ntp.org` server that can be overridden
declaring the `cifmw_ntp_server` variable.

Closes: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OSPRH-9299
