Flush chronyc output buffers.

The following is a patch to chronyc that causes it
to flush the buffers to stderr and stdout after
executing each command. This is needed if
you are controling chronyc from a program (i.e. chronyc's
input and output descriptors are pipes which are being
written/read by another program) and
you do not want to block waiting for chronyc response
which is trapped in a buffer!
