Log:
  Modernize usage of "restrict" keyword in ntp.conf
  
  It is no longer necessary to specify a -4/-6 flag on any ntp.conf
  keyword.  The address type is inferred from the address itself as
  necessary.  "restrict default" statements always apply to both address
  families regardless of any -4/-6 flag that may be present.
  
  So this change just tidies up our default config by removing the redundant
  restrict -6 statement and comment, and by removing the -6 flag from the
  restrict keyword that allows access from localhost.
  
  This change was inspired by the patches provided in PRs 201803 and 210245,
  and included some contrib/ntp code inspection to verify that the -4/-6
  keywords are basically no-ops in all contexts now.
