This reduces initial traffic to NTP servers when a lot of devices boot at once.
Log inspection tells me we agressively burst-poll servers about 5 times
at startup, even though we usually already update clock after second replies.
INITIAL_SAMPLES can probably be even lower, e.g. 2, but let's be conservative
when changing this stuff.

PLATFORM_LINUX is a hidden configuration option which is disabled by
default and enabled at over a hundred locations for features that are
deemed to be Linux specific.
The only effect of PLATFORM_LINUX is to control compilation of
libbb/match_fstype.c. This file is only needed by mount and umount.
Remove all references to PLATFORM_LINUX and compile match_fstype.c
if mount or umount is enabled.

Review of real-world results of the above shows that with small
initial offsets, freq correction can be allowed to kick in sooner,
whereas with large (~0.8s) offsets, we still start freq correction
a bit too soon.
Let's rebalance this a bit.

Back in 2007, commit 0c97c9d437 ("'simple' error message functions by
Loic Grenie") introduced bb_simple_perror_msg() to allow for a lower
overhead call to bb_perror_msg() when only a string was being printed
with no parameters. This saves space for some CPU architectures because
it avoids the overhead of a call to a variadic function. However there
has never been a simple version of bb_error_msg(), and since 2007 many
new calls to bb_perror_msg() have been added that only take a single
parameter and so could have been using bb_simple_perror_message().
This changeset introduces 'simple' versions of bb_info_msg(),
bb_error_msg(), bb_error_msg_and_die(), bb_herror_msg() and
bb_herror_msg_and_die(), and replaces all calls that only take a
single parameter, or use something like ("%s", arg), with calls to the
corresponding 'simple' version.
Since it is likely that single parameter calls to the variadic functions
may be accidentally reintroduced in the future a new debugging config
option WARN_SIMPLE_MSG has been introduced. This uses some macro magic
which will cause any such calls to generate a warning, but this is
turned off by default to avoid use of the unpleasant macros in normal
circumstances.
This is a large changeset due to the number of calls that have been
replaced. The only files that contain changes other than simple
substitution of function calls are libbb.h, libbb/herror_msg.c,
libbb/verror_msg.c and libbb/xfuncs_printf.c. In miscutils/devfsd.c,
networking/udhcp/common.h and util-linux/mdev.c additonal macros have
been added for logging so that single parameter and multiple parameter
logging variants exist.
The amount of space saved varies considerably by architecture, and was
found to be as follows (for 'defconfig' using GCC 7.4):
Arm: -92 bytes
MIPS: -52 bytes
PPC: -1836 bytes
x86_64: -938 bytes
Note that for the MIPS architecture only an exception had to be made
disabling the 'simple' calls for 'udhcp' (in networking/udhcp/common.h)
because it made these files larger on MIPS.

Between Busybox 1.24.2 and 1.25.0 the bb_info_msg() function was
eliminated and calls to it changed to be bb_error_msg(). The downside of
this is that daemons now log all messages to syslog at the LOG_ERR level
which makes it hard to filter errors from informational messages.
This change optionally re-introduces bb_info_msg(), controlled by a new
option FEATURE_SYSLOG_INFO, restores all the calls to bb_info_msg() that
were removed (only in applets that set logmode to LOGMODE_SYSLOG or
LOGMODE_BOTH), and also changes informational messages in ifplugd and
ntpd.
The code size change of this is as follows (using 'defconfig' on x86_64
with gcc 7.3.0-27ubuntu1~18.04)

Add support for MD5 message authentication as described in RFC 5905.
This patch also supports SHA1 authentication.
The key file format is the same file format as used by ntpd.
The configuration file format follows standard Unix conventions
(# comments) with lines consist of the following fields separated by whitespace:
<key identifier, [1,65535]> <SHA1|MD5> <an ASCII string of up to 20 characters|an octet string [a-zA-F0-9] of up to 40 characters>.

On fast network, I've seen "delay:0.002000" shown for all packets,
thus completely losing information on what real delays are.
The new code is careful to not reject packets with tiny delays
if the delay "grows a lot" but is still tiny:
0.000009 is "much larger" than 0.000001 (nine times larger),
but is still very good small delay.

This means we'll start correcting frequency ~5 minutes after start,
not ~3.5 ones.
With previos settings I still often see largish ~0.7s initial offsets
only about 1/2 corrected before frequency correction kicks in,
resulting in ~200ppm "correction" which is then slowly undone.
