Moves the time filter algorithm from the time-filter repository into Clock Synchronization, so the spec defines it directly instead of only linking to it.

The algorithm itself stays a MUST, like before. The parameter values are now a SHOULD, where before they were only the library's defaults. The burst strategy from the library README is now a MUST instead of a known-good baseline, with at least 8 messages per burst and at most 10 s between burst starts. Servers must not close the connection only because bursts are late, since a network stall can delay them.

The filter now ignores samples with a max_error of 0 or less, the same as the reference implementation:

• Ignore samples with non-positive max_error time-filter#10

I dropped the aiosendspin link since it doesn't follow the burst pattern.

Open question: Should the parameter values be a MUST?

The player sync accuracy floor is measured against the client's own filter, not the server clock, so a badly tuned filter can be compliant but out of sync. This PR makes the values a SHOULD, but I'm not sure that's the right level.

MUST:

• Closes that gap, and every client syncs the same way.
• Adaptive forgetting only starts after about 17 minutes at one burst per 10 s.
• The time-filter README calls the values preliminary, and sendspin-js and sendspin-rs use other values today.

SHOULD (this PR):

• Gives implementations one known-good default, while still allowing tuned values.
• Leaves the gap open.

No keyword, like before:

• Describes the reference without asking implementations to follow it.
• Leaves the gap open.

Implementations

Only sendspin-cpp matches the reference everywhere:

Implementation	Algorithm (MUST)	Parameters (SHOULD)	Bursts (MUST)	Integer inputs (MUST)	Rounding (MUST)
sendspin-cpp	yes	yes	yes	yes	yes
sendspin-dotnet	no, waits 5 measurements before using drift and adds minimum variances	yes	yes, every 500 ms until converged, then every 10 s	no, floating point	no, halves to even
SendspinDroid	no, adds outlier rejection and a ±500 ppm drift limit	yes	no, 3 to 15 messages 50 ms apart without waiting for replies, every 0.2 to 3 s	yes, plus a 1 µs minimum for max_error	no, halves toward positive infinity
aiosendspin	no, adds a minimum for S	yes	no, single messages every 0.2 to 3 s, every sample fed	no, rounds halves to even	no, halves to even
sendspin-js	yes	no	no, feeds the median of the 3 lowest-delay samples	no, floating point	no, halves toward positive infinity
sendspin-rs	no, no drift from samples under 100 ms apart, >= in the drift test, conversions refused above 0.2 drift	no	no, single messages every 1 s, every sample fed	no, measurement rounds halves away from zero	yes

sendspin-js uses process_std_dev 0.01, forget_factor 1.1, drift_process_std_dev 0, adaptive_cutoff 2.0 and no max_error_scale. sendspin-rs uses process_std_dev 0.01, forget_factor 1.001, drift_process_std_dev 0, adaptive_cutoff 0.75 and no max_error_scale.

Closes #293
