Bernd Kuhls eb5086ae7a package/ntp: fix build with glibc 2.43
sntp/crypto.c includes sntp/config.h, then sntp/crypto.h which includes
ntp_stdlib.h which in turn includes l_stdlib.h that contains

  #ifndef HAVE_MEMCHR
  extern void *memchr(const void *s, int c, size_t n);
  #endif

and breaks the build with glibc 2.43.

sntp/config.h does not contain any information about memchr() while the
top-level config.h does but this top-level config.h is not included
because sntp/Makefile lacks -I$(top_builddir) so sntp/config.h gets
included which does not define HAVE_MEMCHR although glibc does provide
memchr() but sntp/configure lacks a check for memchr().

This was not a problem with previous glibc versions but due to recent
C23 changes in glibc the ntp build is now broken.

To fix the problem we add a configure check for memchr() to
sntp/configure so HAVE_MEMCHR gets defined in sntp/config.h.
