✘burst/iburst

[Gary E. Miller]

Yo All!

Gack.  Something about how burst works was bugging me.  So I put tcpdump
on it.  I don't see any difference between burst and not having burst...
I'm not saying it does not do anything, just not anything immediately
obvious.

iburst does have an affect.  I see six, (not eight) time requests, spaced
2 seconds apart.  Sorta like the doc says.

But a second peer ignores the iburst, maybe some rate limit thing?

All the above repeatable.

Another loss for the docs...  Well, with a caveat, burst and iburst are
not even decribed in the NTPsec ntp.conf man page, so I had to use the
ntp classic man page.

Some ratholes I do not want to go down now.
