ntp: suggest clients to increase their polling interval

When the poll value in a client request is smaller than the server's NTP
rate limiting interval, set poll in the response to the rate limiting
interval to suggest the client to increase its polling interval.

This follows ntpd as a server. No current client implementation seems to
be increasing its interval by the poll, but it may change in the future.
