Allow minpoll to be set as low as 0. Useful on fast networks.
chrony allows minpoll 0 and doesn't blow up the net, so this is probably safe. A higher lower limit made sense when WAN capacity was much lower and we didn't want aggressive configurations grabbing a lot of it. But today the worst NTP can do is spit in the ocean comparesd to, say video streaming traffic. Note that this does not change the default minpoll value, just the lowest you can explicitly set. The documentation lied about that, claiming it was 4 when it had been 3 since an unexplained change in 2008.
