ORC-518: add ConfigureOptions and o2-roc-config --clock-config

 order to configure the CRU or CRORC, one has to create a `CardConfigurator` object. The constructor can either be called with a list of
 parameters, or a path to a configuration file, specifying these parameters.
 
+The constructor also takes an optional `ConfigureOptions` struct (see [ConfigureOptions.h](include/ReadoutCard/ConfigureOptions.h)),
+which controls *how* the configuration is applied, as opposed to the `Parameters`, which define *what* is configured:
+
+| Field         | Values                 | Default | Description                                                                                       |

 ### roc-config
 Configures the CRU. Can be executed with a list of parameters, or with a [configuration file](#configuration-file). Uses the [Card Configurator](#card-configurator). For more details refer to the `--help` dialog of the binary.
 
+The `--clock-config` option (`yes`, `no`, `only`; default `yes`) sets when the CRU clock is configured. The clock
+configuration (clock selection, TTC/PON calibration and GBT calibration) is slow, so it can be done separately from the
+rest of the configuration:
+* `yes`: the clock is configured together with the other settings.
+* `no`: the clock configuration is skipped, and only the other settings are configured.
+* `only`: only the clock is configured, and the other settings are left untouched.
+
+When `--force` is not set, only the settings selected by `--clock-config` are compared with the current card state to decide
+whether reconfiguring is needed. Example:
+```
+o2-roc-config --id=b0:00.0 --tf=32 --clock-config=only   # configure the clock
+o2-roc-config --id=b0:00.0 --tf=32 --clock-config=no     # configure the rest, without touching the clock
+```
