Refclock quirk

I'm seeing things like this:
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter

That's on a raspberry Pi with a GPS HAT.  The glitch is the 1024 polling 
interval for the PPS.  That shouldn't be there.  Note that the NMEA driver is 
at 64.

I don't remember seeing anything like that before your recent refclock 
changes.

There is a maxpoll 6 on the 5 servers after the PPS.  Nothing on the first 3 
or either refclock.

I thought the refclocks used to set their own polling interval, but I can't 
find that code.  (I remember changing something many years ago.)
