playbook: switch to Chrony everywhere

Julien Muchembled requested to merge chrony into master

Chrony is the default time daemon on Ubuntu and I'd like to keep it on the notepod because it « can perform usefully in an environment where access to the time reference is intermittent » and it « wakes up the CPU only when necessary, which is better for power saving » (https://chrony-project.org/comparison.html).

Overall, chrony looks better then ntpsec, even on the oldest distributions we support, since SLES switched to it in 2018. Note that the default on Debian is systemd-timesyncd.
