conf: increase default minsamples and polltarget

Change default minsamples to 6 and polltarget to 8. This should improve
stability with extremely small jitters (e.g. HW timestamping) and not
decrease time accuracy at minimum polling interval too much.

The first three options set the minimum and maximum allowed polling interval,
and how should be the actual interval adjusted in the specified range. Their
default values are 6 (64 seconds) for `minpoll`, 10 (1024 seconds) for
`maxpoll` and 6 (samples) for `polltarget`. The default values should be used
`maxpoll` and 8 (samples) for `polltarget`. The default values should be used

permission to poll some servers more frequently, setting these options for
shorter polling intervals may significantly improve the accuracy of the system
