[atlas] Feature request for Validated Timestamps

To expand on the immediate area of research, I'd like to have a distributed
system where nodes self-identify what location they're in. There are a
number of situations - be it operator misconfiguration or active attempts
to misreport where it is more concrete to instead have nodes report their
location based on time bounding their distance to known locations. The
atlas looks like a great existing set of known anchor points to base such
measurements on, but that attestation of location is very difficult to
construct without additional authenticity.

(Nodes may be behind NATs make it seem difficult to measure outbound from
atlas probes to them)
