sntp: simplify and tidy a bit

* list_ref can become LUA_REFNIL, because that's what rawgeti returns
  for LUA_NOREF.  Defensively guard for this, rather than falling into
  the sntp_dolookups loop with nil on the stack.

* set_repeat_mode should not call itself, but should rather always do
  what it's going to do and then optionally do the rest if directed.

* sntp_sync should not try to special case the single string argument:
  we should be queueing that name for DNS resolution, too.  Towards that
  end, if we are given a single string, build a table and make that the
  list_ref and call off to sntp_dolookups, just like we otherwise do.

FIXES: #2699
