Done.  Sort of. I've put all the structure in place in C and Python, but
it looks like the cookie count ntpd is shipping is random bits from
uninitialized memory in the client state block.

To see this, go into ntpq, set debug to 2, then assoc, then do pstats
on a valid assoc number.

The peers display looks OK, so my test to see if a number should be inserted
in the status field is probably busted.  Should be trivial to fix once
ntpd ships the right thing.

Sorry to commit this only 75% finished, but I have to fight a fire.  I'll
have to leave it to you to figure out why that count is garbage.  Peer
blocks are zeroed at allocation time so this is a bit mysterious.
