ntpd: switch service type from forking to simple

Browse Source 
Type=forking means systemd waits untill the main process, /usr/sbin/ntpd
in this case, has exited. However, the ntpd daemon does not seem to call
fork() or vfork() and runs endlessly untill killed. Eventually, this
causes systemd to trigger a timeout, and the ntpd service is killed. All
the while, "systemctl status ntpd" shows "activating (start)" instead of
"active (running)". This is fixed by switching Type=forking to
Type=simple.

Reading ntpd(8) shows that the "-n" option requests ntpd not to fork, so
also use that to be safe.

Finally, there is no need anymore to keep a pidfile around.
