TS7700 and TSSC to support NTP server configuration using FQDN name instead of IP

The NTP server IP may change in the background, requiring updates to the VTS NTP configuration. Allowing the use of an FQDN (Fully qualified domain name) for NTP server configuration would help maintain consistent time synchronization for TS7700 and TSSC without needing such updates.

    We would like you to review this request, i could see DS8900 series is having the FQDN support and expecting similar FQDN resolution for TS7700 as well.

    TSSC and VTS Web Gui should have option to set and enable the NTP servers.
