enable ntpd server for busybox

enable ntpd server for busybox

hi

Another version, in this one the enable_server option is in the timeserver ntp part of the "system" config file
You can patch trunk and bacfire (tested both)
You can put busybox ntpd in client mode (if you put server), in client & server (by putting enable_server to 1, ntpd listen to udp 123), and also in server mode only (if you didn't put any servers in the config and still put enable_server 1,  ntpd will answer with the time of the router)

I've replaced "config_foreach getpeers timeserver" with "config_get peers ntp server" because we want ntp timeserver, not random ones (to pre-answer if someone want to say that it's intrusive ...)
