Jakob Englisch 7473a45d98 Chrony: new NTP server defaults
This patch drops the offline option because this role usually
applies to always-on machines and the subsystem which detects
if you're online or offline seems to be largely unstable which
causes chronyd to never attempt to synchronize time.

It also drops the minpoll and maxpoll options to leave it to
the defaults of the chronyd service, this is due to the numbers
provided not allowing the system to properly sync up time.

It also adds the 'iburst' option which will send a few quick
bursts when the system first goes up in order to get it to sync
up with time faster.

upgrade:
- Changed the default NTP server options in ``chrony.conf``. The ``offline``
option has been removed, ``minpoll``/``maxpoll`` have been removed in favour of
the upstream defaults, while the ``iburst`` option was added to speed up
initial time synchronization.
