If I'm reading the code correctly, writing to the chrony refclock
socket is separate from the code that writes (JSON) to sockets used by
gpsd clients.

report_hook() in timehint.c calls chrony_send() and ntpshm_put() to
write PPS samples to SOCK and SHM respectively.

all_reports() in gpsd.c calls ntpshm_put() to write non-PPS samples to
SHM, but there is no call to chrony_send().
