Request for data / ntpsnmpd report

[Ian Bruene]

I finally tracked down where root_distance is created. ntpd/ntp_proto.c 
line 2130 function root_distance.

However it is a function internal to ntp_proto.c, not mentioned in 
header files. And as far as I can tell the values generated from it are 
only ever used inside the functions in that file, not saved.

ntpsnmpd requires this data. As I am unfamiliar with the C code, and 
this is a particularly delicate portion I am unwilling to poke it 
without confirming with others first. Solutions I can see to get the 
data out of ntp_proto.c are:

* save the data. Requires changes to the peer struct. Could easily 
become stale (I do not know how often the peer filtering happens).

* expose the root_distance function. I am unsure of the total extent of 
the needed changes, but they will be scattered across several files.
