ntp: add maxdelayquant option

Add a new test for maximum delay using a long-term estimate of a
p-quantile of the peer delay. If enabled, it replaces the
maxdelaydevratio test. It's main advantage is that it is not sensitive
to outliers corrupting the minimum delay.

As it can take a large number of samples for the estimate to reach the
expected value and adapt to a new value after a network change, the
option is recommended only for local networks with very short polling
intervals.
