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.
