Tighten default restrictions for ntpd(8) server and provide a link
to NTP access restriction documentation. The new default restrictions would allow only time queries from a remote system and will KoD all other requests, but still allow localhost to do make all requests. These restrictions are also recommended for all Internet-facing public NTP servers. This changeset is intended for an instant MFC to stable/10 and releng/10.0.
