This patch moves the creation of the PID file until after syslogd has
set up signal handlers and is ready.

PLATFORM_LINUX is a hidden configuration option which is disabled by
default and enabled at over a hundred locations for features that are
deemed to be Linux specific.
The only effect of PLATFORM_LINUX is to control compilation of
libbb/match_fstype.c. This file is only needed by mount and umount.
Remove all references to PLATFORM_LINUX and compile match_fstype.c
if mount or umount is enabled.

For some use cases, having logs with more than 1 second accuracy can be
helpful. Add an option to include milliseconds when adding a timestamp in
HH:MM:SS.mmm format, similar to syslog-ng with fraq_digits(3) or journalctl
-o short-precise.
For simplicity, abuse the remaining space in the buffer used by ctime to add
the millieconds (overwriting year).

Back in 2007, commit 0c97c9d437 ("'simple' error message functions by
Loic Grenie") introduced bb_simple_perror_msg() to allow for a lower
overhead call to bb_perror_msg() when only a string was being printed
with no parameters. This saves space for some CPU architectures because
it avoids the overhead of a call to a variadic function. However there
has never been a simple version of bb_error_msg(), and since 2007 many
new calls to bb_perror_msg() have been added that only take a single
parameter and so could have been using bb_simple_perror_message().
This changeset introduces 'simple' versions of bb_info_msg(),
bb_error_msg(), bb_error_msg_and_die(), bb_herror_msg() and
bb_herror_msg_and_die(), and replaces all calls that only take a
single parameter, or use something like ("%s", arg), with calls to the
corresponding 'simple' version.
Since it is likely that single parameter calls to the variadic functions
may be accidentally reintroduced in the future a new debugging config
option WARN_SIMPLE_MSG has been introduced. This uses some macro magic
which will cause any such calls to generate a warning, but this is
turned off by default to avoid use of the unpleasant macros in normal
circumstances.
This is a large changeset due to the number of calls that have been
replaced. The only files that contain changes other than simple
substitution of function calls are libbb.h, libbb/herror_msg.c,
libbb/verror_msg.c and libbb/xfuncs_printf.c. In miscutils/devfsd.c,
networking/udhcp/common.h and util-linux/mdev.c additonal macros have
been added for logging so that single parameter and multiple parameter
logging variants exist.
The amount of space saved varies considerably by architecture, and was
found to be as follows (for 'defconfig' using GCC 7.4):
Arm: -92 bytes
MIPS: -52 bytes
PPC: -1836 bytes
x86_64: -938 bytes
Note that for the MIPS architecture only an exception had to be made
disabling the 'simple' calls for 'udhcp' (in networking/udhcp/common.h)
because it made these files larger on MIPS.

Some syslog producers provide inconsistent timestamps, so provide an option
to ignore the message timestamps and always locally timestamp. In order to
implement this, invert the valid-timestamp check, but only use the timestamp
if this option is not enabled.
This is in line with what what other syslogd implementations do:
From sysklogd syslogd.c:
* Sun Nov 7 12:28:47 CET 2004: Martin Schulze <joey@infodrom.org>
* Discard any timestamp information found in received syslog
* messages. This will affect local messages sent from a
* different timezone.
rsyslog's imuxsock module similary has an (enabled by default)
IgnoreTimestamp option:

Move last_log_time from a single global to *each logFile_t*
so that we can actually apply the logic to every log-file
in multi-file configurations, rather than working only
for the first file written in each 1-second interval
and then leaving the others connected to possibly wrong files.

As suggested by Mike. No bloat-o-meter difference, but a bit nicer to look at.
We cannot convert the call to log_to_shmem() as it checks for G.shbuf outside
the function, and G.shbuf is only available when IPC support is enabled.

We set a default path for the directory where pidfiles are create
when FEATURE_PIDFILE is selected. The default has no effect on
applets which must specify a pidfile path on the command line to
run, and it can be overridden by applets which optionally allow
the user to specify the pidfile path.
We also add pidfile write/remove support for klogd, ntpd and watchdog.
For syslogd, we add a missing remove_pidfile() for better cleanup
on daemon exit.

Function log_locally() within the syslogd can potentially lock up when
restarting the daemon after a power loss in case the unplanned shutdown hit the
rename operation during logfile rotation.
While POSIX requires the rename operation to be atomic, many file systems such
as JFFS2 implement the rename operation in 2 steps by linking the new name
followed by unlinking the original name. In case of a power loss during the
rename the system can end up with /var/log/messages and /var/log/messages.0
being 2 hard links to the same file.
When the syslog daemon restarts in such a situation it will rediscover the need
to rotate the log files, however, POSIX also requires that rename does nothing
and reports success in case oldpath and newpath are existing hard links to the
same file. Looping through reopen: by (O_CREAT | O_APPEND), the daemon
eternally reopens the same file without succeeding to rotate.
