Fedora 16 introduced chrony as default client time&date synchronization
service:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ChronyDefaultNTP
Thus, there may be people already using chrony as their time and date
synchronization service before installing IPA.
However, installing IPA server or client on such machine may lead to
unexpected behavior, as the IPA installer would configure ntpd and leave
the machine with both ntpd and chronyd enabled. However, since the OS
does not allow both chronyd and ntpd to be running concurrently and chronyd
has the precedence, ntpd would not be run on that system at all.
Make sure, that user is warned when trying to install IPA on such
system and is given a possibility to either not to let IPA configure
ntpd at all or to let the installer stop and disable chronyd.

IPA client and server tool set used authconfig acutil module to
for client DNS operations. This is not optimal DNS interface for
several reasons:
- does not provide native Python object oriented interface
but but rather C-like interface based on functions and
structures which is not easy to use and extend
- acutil is not meant to be used by third parties besides
authconfig and thus can break without notice
Replace the acutil with python-dns package which has a feature rich
interface for dealing with all different aspects of DNS including
DNSSEC. The main target of this patch is to replace all uses of
acutil DNS library with a use python-dns. In most cases, even
though the larger parts of the code are changed, the actual
functionality is changed only in the following cases:
- redundant DNS checks were removed from verify_fqdn function
in installutils to make the whole DNS check simpler and
less error-prone. Logging was improves for the remaining
checks
- improved logging for ipa-client-install DNS discovery

When running ipa-client-install on a system whose clock is not in sync
with the master, kinit fails and enrollment is aborted. Manual checking
of current time at the master and adjusting on the client-to-be is then
needed.
The patch tries to fetch SRV records for NTP servers of the domain we aim
to join and runs ntpdate to get time synchronized. If no SRV records are
found, sync with IPA server itself. If that fails, warn that time might
be not in sync with KDC.

When setting up the client-side NTP configuration, make sure that /etc/ntp/step-tickers
point to IPA NTP server as well.
When restoring the client during ipa-client-install --uninstall, make sure NTP configuration
is fully restored and NTP service is disabled if it was disabled before the installation.

The changes include:
* Change license blobs in source files to mention GPLv3+ not GPLv2 only
* Add GPLv3+ license text
* Package COPYING not LICENSE as the license blobs (even the old ones)
mention COPYING specifically, it is also more common, I think
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/239
Configure ipa servers as an ntp server and clients
to (by default) us the ipa server as an ntp server.
Also corrected the messages about which ports should
be opened.
