Fix #1544, add time get reference error bit #1593

Describe the contribution
Use one of the unused time state bits to indicate if an error has occurred where CFE_TIME_GetReference was not able to get a consistent copy of the reference state data.

In a functional system this should never occur - there should be at most one retry, which only happens in the event there was a burst of updates (more than 4) concurrently with reading the structure.

The previous implementation did not report or handle the condition at all, this at least sets a TLM status bit and returns a reference struct filled with all zeros.

Fixes #1544

Testing performed
Build and sanity check CFE, run all unit tests
Check coverage report to ensure the new tests are being executed and confirm that the read error flag gets set, and the output state is all 0 in that case.
Force the error to occur during a syslog call and confirm the timestamp gets set, e.g.

1980-001-00:00:00.00000 ES Startup: Opened ES App Startup file: /cf/cfe_es_startup.scr

Expected behavior changes
If CFE_TIME_GetReference was ever not able to get a valid reference structure, it outputs all zeros and the "REFERR" bit (0x0010) will be set in the output TLM structure until the system is rebooted.

System(s) tested on
Ubuntu

Additional context
This solution was chosen over an event/syslog because both of those will also get the time, thereby introducing a recursive loop if the error happens again.

By zero-filling the structure the output is also identifiable; i.e. if the date "1980-001-00:00:00.00000" ever appears in a log file, failure of CFE_TIME_GetReference is really the only way a timestamp like that is possible. Without this change the time data would be variable/unpredicatable.
