NCP only works with --pull or --mode server, leading to breakage
in --inetd mode (because that has --tls-server, but not --mode server,
but clients can still ask for PUSH_REQUEST).

Fix by turning off o->ncp_enable unless (pull or mode server), and
double-fix by logging an appropriate message and refusing to change
ciphers if the server has already set up its keys.

Trac #715
