Fix byte order in l_fp conversion functions
The lfp_to_uint64() and uint64_to_lfp() functions previously expected
the l_fp fields to be in network byte order. However, this is only
true of the l_fp fields in struct pkt; everywhere else they are in
host byte order. These functions now expect host byte order. To use
them with network-byte-order l_fp's, use the existing conversion
macros from ntp_fp.h.

Refactor receive() and process_packet()
This is the first and biggest step of a complete rewrite of NTP's
receive-side logic. receive() now uses a struct parsed_pkt instead of
struct pkt, and the function is much better organized. Authentication
is now performed as early as possible rather than as late as possible;
this isn't the 1980s any more and checking a MAC is no longer
expensive. Other security-relevant checks such as orgin timestamp
validation are also moved to the fore.
Notable bug fixes introduced by this commit:
* Server packets are now immediately rejected as bogus if there is no
request outstanding (peer->outcount == 0).
* The old code was sticking the packet's transmit timestamp into the
peer structure's receive timestamp, a bug that appears to have been
introduced in 2008 when interleaved mode was implemented. This is
likely to have been harming timekeeping precision all this years,
and the fix may be an especially big win for clients which talk to
a stratum 1 server via a LAN.
* KoDs are handled more sensibly and will never bump the polling
interval up to anything ridiculous.
Known issues as of this commit:
* Only basic client and server modes are currently working. Support
for the myriad other association modes will be reintroduced in
later commits.
* MS-SNTP support is not yet re-implemented.
* The call to record_raw_stats() is missing.
* Some system counters such as ntp_oldversion and ntp_newversion
are not incremented at appropriate times.
* There are no logging calls in the new code.
Current testing status: I've verified that the code basically works in
the common cases both as a client and as a server. I haven't tested
authentication yet, and haven't verified that every sort of bogon is
correctly rejected.

Origin timestamp checking for symmetric modes
As a first step to getting symmetric mode working again, implement the
different, more relaxed rules for origin timestamp validation that
symmetric mode requires. This still only covers basic symmetric mode,
not interlaved.

Remove interleaved mode
Interleaved mode was an invention intended to improve timekeeping
precision in symmetric and broadcast mode. The problem it intended to
solve is that transmit timestamps have to be written before the packet
is sent, but right *after* the packet is sent, better information
becomes available because you know exactly when the packet made it
through the kernel and out onto the wire. So, the basic idea of
interleaved mode was to dump that better value into the *next* packet,
and have the peer follow along with that, always one packet behind.
This is a problem that PTP is clearly better suited to solving, but
interleaved mode still seems at least reasonable in theory. However,
there are two big problems.
First, interleaved mode adds a great deal of complexity to NTP's state
machine. This led to at least one terrible vulnerability (CVE-2016-1548)
which took two tries to fix (CVE-2016-4956), and probably indirectly
led to a few others.
Second, the implementation was flawed. "Drivestamps" were collected
simply by calling get_systime() immediately after sendpkt() returned.
However, on modern kernels, send() returns immediately unless the
network buffer is full. So the timestamp that NTP was collecting had
nothing to do with the time the packet actually went out, and was not
any more accurate than the transmit timestamp obtained in basic mode.
If interleaved mode ever provided a timekeeping improvement, there are
two possible explanations for why. One possibility is that the Solaris
boxen that Dave Mills tested it on had a simpler kernel networking
stack, so the timestamp he was collecting was something closer to a
true drivestamp. Another possibility is the presence of a simple bug:
before the recent refactor of receive(), in every mode except
interleaved mode, NTP was storing a transmit timestamp where a receive
timestamp belonged. Interleaved mode may have been improving
performance just by dodging this buggy code.

TESTFRAME: Withdraw the TESTFRAME code.
There's an incompatible split between KERNEL_PLL and non-KERNEL_PLL
capture logs - neither can be interpreted by the replay logic that
would work for the other.
Because we can't get rid of KERNEL_PLL without seriously hurting
convergence time, this means the original dream of a single set of
regression tests that can be run everywhere by waf check is dead.
Possibly to be revived if we solve the slow-convergence problem
and drop KERNEL_PLL, but that's far in the future.
Various nasty kludges could be attempted to partly save the concept
by, for example, having two different sets of capture logs. But, as
the architect of TESTFRAME, I have concluded that this would be
borrowing trouble we don't need - there are strong reasons to suspect
the additional complexity would be a defect attractor.
One proble independent of the KERNEL_PLL/non-KERNEL_PLL split is that
once capture mode was (mostly) working, it became apparent that the
log format is very brittle in the sense that captures would easily be
rendered invalid for replay by even minor logic changes.
Best to fill in this rathole and move on.
