2.1.11 cfexecd runs update.conf immediately, ignoring SplayTime

[Jim Wight]

I don't know whether this came in at 2.1.11 - I haven't upgraded since
2.1.8, and it wasn't there then - but in investigating 2.1.11 I notice
that when cfexecd is started in daemon mode, when a run is scheduled in
daemon mode, and when cron fires up cfexecd in non-daemon mode, cfagent
immediately contacts the server (if update.conf is configured to do
that) irrespective of any SplayTime settings in update.conf.

It's only after 

/var/cfengine/bin/cfagent -Q 
smtpserver,sysadm,fqhost,ipaddress,EmailMaxLines,EmailFrom,EmailTo -D 
from_cfexecd

has been run that a normal (no arguments) cfagent run goes to sleep,
obeying SplayTime.

This is not good news for servers if all clients spring into action at
the same time.

An oversight, surely.
