From: Peter Kjellerstedt <pkj@...>

Support for readline was dropped in Chrony 4.2. However, the
--disable-readline option still remains (it is used to completely ignore
all forms of command line editing, even though the only remaining
variant is editline). So keeping the readline PACKAGECONFIG and making
it pass --disable-readline when it is not enabled disabled support for
editline, and if it was enabled it instead passed --without-editline,
which also disabled support for editline. Thus there was no way to
enable editline support.
