ntpdate rc.d script to use pool configation line

10.2-RELEASE introduces ntpd 4.2.8p3.  With this /etc/ntp.conf can now use the
pool configuration command.

The base ntpdate rc.d script only looks for server and peer lines:

 ...
 ntpdate_hosts=`awk '
   /^server[ \t]*127.127/      {next}
   /^(server|peer)/            {
       if ($2 ~/^-/)           {print $3}
       else                    {print $2}}
 ' < "$ntpdate_config"`
 ...

Should also include lines that begin with pool?

ntp.conf using pool with base ntpdate rc.d script:

 # ntpd --version
 ntpd 4.2.8p3-a (1) 
 # egrep "^(server|peer|pool)" /etc/ntp.conf
 pool north-america.pool.ntp.org iburst
 # service ntpdate start
 Setting date via ntp.
 16 Aug 01:12:00 ntpdate[68397]: no servers can be used, exiting

With patch:

 # fgrep 'pool' /etc/rc.d/ntpdate
                         /^(server|peer|pool)/            {


 # service ntpdate start
 Setting date via ntp.
