We have a chicken and egg problem: validation of DNSSEC signatures
doesn't work without a correct clock, but to set the correct clock we
need to contact NTP servers which requires resolving a hostname, which
would normally require DNSSEC validation.
Let's break the cycle by excluding NTP hostname resolution from
validation for now.

Fixes the following security issues:
CVE-2020-14367: Insecure writing of pidfile
-------------------------------------------
When chronyd is configured to save the pidfile in a directory where the
chrony user has write permissions (e.g. /var/run/chrony - the default
since chrony-3.4), an attacker that compromised the chrony user account
could create a symbolic link at the location of the pidfile to make
chronyd starting with root privileges follow the symlink and write its
process ID to a file for which the chrony user doesn't have write
permissions, causing a denial of service, or data loss.
This issue was reported by Matthias Gerstner of SUSE.

With CHRONY_ARGS in /etc/default/chrony, chrony may asked to use an
alternative configuration file (with the -f option), so drop the explicit
/etc/chrony.conf check.
In case the configuration file isn't present chrony will anyway loudly
complain which is preferable to this silent failure:
chronyd -f /non/existing/file.conf

Fixes CVE-2014-0021: Amplification in chrony control protocol
In the chrony control protocol some replies are significantly larger than
their requests, which allows an attacker to use it in an amplification
attack. With hosts allowed by cmdallow (only localhost by default) the
maximum amplification factor is 9.2. Hosts that are not allowed receive a
small reply with error status, which allows amplification of up to 1.5.
To fix the problem, the protocol has been modified to require padding in the
request packet, so replies are never larger than their requests. Also,
chronyd no longer sends replies with error status to hosts that are not
allowed by cmdallow.
