GSOC Privilege separation

Hello,

I've been able to make some progress this week.

syslogd can drop privileges succesfully, but can't do much beyond that.
A lot of code cleaning is also required, and openbsd's privilege separated
framework needs to be adjusted slightly.

I've imported ntpd.h, config.c, ntp_msg.c & ntp_dns.c from OpenBSD's ntpd
and with some modifications, they compile cleanly on my dragonflybsd server.

No bug shall escape my sight,
And those who worship evil's mind,
be wary of my powers,
puffy lantern's light !
