Send cmdmon error replies only to allowed hosts
The status codes STT_BADPKTVERSION, STT_BADPKTLENGTH, STT_NOHOSTACCESS
were sent even to hosts that were not allowed by cmdallow. Deprecate
STT_NOHOSTACCESS and ignore packets from hosts not allowed by cmdallow
completely.

Add padding to cmdmon requests to prevent amplification attack
To prevent an attacker using chronyd in an amplification attack, change
the protocol to include padding in request packets so that the largest
possible reply is not larger than the request. Request packets that
don't include this padding are ignored as invalid.
This is an incompatible change in the protocol. Clients from chrony
1.27, 1.28 and 1.29 will receive NULL reply with STT_BADPKTVERSION and
print "Protocol version mismatch". Clients from 1.26 and older will not
receive a reply as it would be larger than the request if it was padded
to be compatible with their protocol.

Set maximum number of samples in manual list reply to 16
In chronyd the maximum number of manual samples is 16, so there is no
need to keep room for 32 samples in the command reply. This limits the
maximum assumed size of the reply packet.

Drop support for SUBNETS_ACCESSED and CLIENT_ACCESSES commands
Support for the SUBNETS_ACCESSED and CLIENT_ACCESSES commands was
enabled in chronyd, but in chronyc it was always disabled and the
CLIENT_ACCESSES_BY_INDEX command was used instead. As there is no plan
to enable it in the future, remove the support completely.

Don't send uninitialized data in command replies
The RPY_SUBNETS_ACCESSED and RPY_CLIENT_ACCESSES command replies can
contain uninitalized data from stack when the client logging is disabled
or a bad subnet is requested. These commands were never used by chronyc
and they require the client to be authenticated since version 1.25.

Fix buffer overflow when processing crafted command packets
When the length of the REQ_SUBNETS_ACCESSED, REQ_CLIENT_ACCESSES
command requests and the RPY_SUBNETS_ACCESSED, RPY_CLIENT_ACCESSES,
RPY_CLIENT_ACCESSES_BY_INDEX, RPY_MANUAL_LIST command replies is
calculated, the number of items stored in the packet is not validated.
A crafted command request/reply can be used to crash the server/client.
Only clients allowed by cmdallow (by default only localhost) can crash
the server.
With chrony versions 1.25 and 1.26 this bug has a smaller security
impact as the server requires the clients to be authenticated in order
to process the subnet and client accesses commands. In 1.27 and 1.28,
however, the invalid calculated length is included also in the
authentication check which may cause another crash.

Limit sources included in combining
Combine only sources whose distance is shorter than distance of the
selected source multiplied by the value of combinelimit and their
estimated frequencies are close to the frequency of the selected source.
Add outlyer status for sources which are selectable, but not included in
the combining. The status is displayed as '-' in the chronyc sources
output.
If the remote stratum is higher than ours, try to lock on the peer's
polling to minimize our response time by slightly extending our delay or
waiting for the peer to catch up with us as the random part in the
actual interval is reduced. If the remote stratum is equal to ours, try
to interleave evenly with the peer.
If the remote peer uses a polling interval shorter than the local
minimum, the local peer will be unable to send any packets as the
timeout will be updated on every received valid packet and will never
expire.
Modify the delay calculation to aim at poll interval away since the last
transmit.
Also, share the delay calculation code with transmit_timeout().
