This patch re-adds the -n flag, but now to disable DNS reverse-query for
all incoming messages. This can potentially speed up logging a lot for
small/embedded systems that act as log sink.

This change will probably break most installations. We do this to free
up '-n' for use as disabling DNS lookups, from FreeBSD *and* NetBSD.

Most of the functionality in syslogd is now up to par with NetBSD and
FreeBSD syslogd. Lots of syklogd project features have been removed and
syslog in itself is nothing new and surprising, so much of the text can
be greatly simplified or just removed.

Now that we've dropped the previous -r flag we can rename the rotation
flag so it's the same between both logger and syslogd.

This patch is inspired, in part, by FreeBSD syslogd but now diverges
onto its own path. Special handling for AF_UNIX sockets are required
on Linux, which unlike BSD cannot use getaddrinfo() on UNIX sockets.
- Rip out old funix[] and finet support
- Add new concept of peers
- Linked list of peers can be > 20
- Temporarily open up to accept all remote conns
- Remove old logerror(), replaced with new log macros

This patch changes the syntax for per-rule log rotation and makes it
possible to have enable log rotation and RFC5424 output formatting.
The new syntax looks like this:
EXPR ACTION ;OPT,OPT,...
Example:
*.notice -/var/log/messages ;rotate=1M:5,RFC5424

- Import pidfile() v1.11 from OpenBSD and libite (-lite) project
- Import utimensat() replacement, for systems that don't have it
- Simplify syslogd and klogd program start and PID file creation
- Rip out -i and -I from klogd, uses old PID file functions, and
they're only kill(1) wrappers anyway

We want to use -b for binding to an address:port, like FreeBSD/NetBSD
supports using this option. Unfortunately breaks existing setups in
the wild already.

Emacs is by default fooled into defaulting to conf-file-mode for
syslog.conf.5, so we add hinting to all man pages for consistency.

The '-n' option is commonly used for remote servers, so let's
consolidate the log rotation under the '-r' flag instead, with
the same syntax as previously established in syslog.conf

This patch introduces a relicensed logit from the Finit[1] project. It
has been rebranded as logger to complement the features implemented in
the sysklogd project.
Note, logger conflicts with the tool of the same name from util-linux.

This applies to both the command line '-b SIZE' option and the
optional per log file setting. Modifiers supported are: k, M, G

Basically just removes the #ifdef blocks around the code. With the
feature disabled by defult this should be safe.
