ntp_signd: Only allow group access to the ntp signd directory.

Existing installations running ntp as group 'ntp' will need to change
the permissions on the ntp_signd socket directory (eg
PREFIX/lib/ntp_signd or /var/lib/samba/ntp_signd)

The reason is that allowing other users on the host access to this
directory would allow them to potentially spoof time on the network,
or attack the password database with a chosen plaintext attack.

Permissions should be changed to:

ownership root:ntp (if ntp runs as gid ntp)
mode 0750 (this is what it will be created as)

If the permissions are not changed, Samba will refuse to start the
ntp_signd server, and NTP operations will not be signed.  As the error
is declared fatal, in the future, Samba may totally refused to start.
