Angelo Compagnucci 44b6ba3af3 package/httpdate: new package
httpdate synchronizes the system time using the Date header of HTTP and
HTTPS servers, which is useful on networks where NTP is blocked but web
access is permitted. It is the successor of htpdate, from the same
author: it delegates the network transport (HTTP, HTTPS, HTTP/2,
proxies) to libcurl, and estimates the time from several servers.

Like the htpdate package, add a SysV init script and a systemd unit,
running httpdate with the arguments of HTTPDATE_ARGS, that can be
overridden in /etc/default/httpdate. As httpdate does not write a
pidfile, it runs in the foreground (-F), and start-stop-daemon
backgrounds it and writes the pidfile.
