fix(image): keep the Tor onion reachable on RTC-less boards

An RTC-less Pi boots at 1970; Tor then rejects the consensus and the unlock
onion never publishes. Bake a clock floor (build epoch) into the initramfs and
jump the clock forward to it before Tor starts, and pass a numeric tor_ntp= in
the cmdline so busybox ntpd syncs without DNS. Proven on hardware: the onion
unlock succeeded on a Pi 3 after this.
