Require that the ratio of the increase in delay from the minimum one in
the stats data register to the standard deviation of the offsets in the
register is less than maxdelaydevratio or the difference between
measured offset and predicted offset is larger than the increase in
delay. In the allowed delay increase is included also skew and maximum
clock frequency error.
maxdelaydevratio is 10.0 by default.
Instead of following skew changes, adjust polling interval so that the
number of measurements used in the regression algorithm remains close to
a target value. It can be configured with a new polltarget option
(6 by default).
Resolving is retried in increasing intervals (maximum is one hour)
until it succeeds or fails with a non-temporary error.
Unresolved sources are included in the activity report as offline
sources and the online command can be used to retry it immediately.
This could be improved by resolving in a separate thread/process
to avoid blocking.
Instead of retrying to resolve it in the function and blocking for a
long time, return a TryAgain status and let the caller retry it later if
necessary.
This is to avoid incompatibility between 64/32-bit client/server.
While at it, convert all time values in the protocol to timeval
to avoid Y2K38 problem.
GNU readline recently changed license to GPLv3+ which makes it
incompatible with chrony (GPLv2). This patch adds support for editline
library (BSD license).

I found a bug in the chrony client (chronyc) that affects its ability to talk
to remote hosts over the control port (323/udp).
For example, running "chronyc -h 192.168.1.3 sources -v" would just sit there
and hang, and eventually timeout. I found out with tcpdump that chronyc
actually tries to connect to 255.168.1.3 instead of 192.168.1.3.

Attached is a patchlet to make the "sources" command of chrony output properly
signed numbers. The chronyd code (see e.g. ntp.h) properly uses int32_t and
friends to get the right number of bits per datatype while client.c just uses
short, int, long. But long will be 64 bit or 32 bit depending on the cpu.
