[PATCH] ntp: Stop building and delivering ntpdate

From: Michal Sieron <[email protected]>

ntpdate has been deprecated. meta-openembedded@6315006aadd in theory
dropped it, but in practice the binary was still being built and
shipped, but now as part of ntp-utils package.
To avoid this, let's patch it out of the build.
