Subject: ntpd: get rid of G.initial_poll_complete
X-Git-Tag: 1_24_0~215

ntpd: get rid of G.initial_poll_complete

This speeds up syncing - now happens only just
two replies from a peer. Especially useful for "ntpd -q".
Shouldn't have ill effects: if we chose a bad peer,
we will discover it later and switch to another one.

The code is even smaller this way.
