system: bare-bones: Add comments about nss-cert and NTP service.
TLS errors may be confusing to some users.  Two comments are added: one
comment should help clarify the extra step required for root CA certificates
to be installed, while the other will help users keep their clocks
synchronized, another source of TLS errors due to clock drift.

* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl: Add nss-cert and NTP service comments.
