Mark CVE-2020-13817 as not affecting ntpsec source wise

ntpsec implements/covers already
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ntp-data-minimization-04>.
Quoting the upstream answer:

        > That bug talks about feeding bogus time to a system by guessing 
the transmit
        > time stamp.
        >
        > When ntpd gets a response, it drops responses where the time-stamp 
it sent
        > doesn't match the corresponding slot in the reply.  The idea 
is that most of
        > the bits in that slot are predictable so an off path attacker has 
a good
        > chance of getting a bogus response through by guessing the value 
the server is
        > expecting.
        >
        > There is a draft in the pipeline:
        >   https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ntp-data-minimization-04
        > We implement that.
        >
        > I don't know if the authors considered this particular case, 
but they covered
        > it.  We send a random value in that slot (and keep the time in our 
back
        > pocket) so similar attacks are unlikley to work
