- drop hard-coded -s from syslogd command line
- allow options to be read from /etc/default/syslogd

This should fix any lingering issues with logging with the wrong
timezone at boot. As long as syslogd gets HUP'ed after setting
the new timezone.
Improvements to this welcome, of course.

Follow-up to 22d26c5 to avoid hard-coding and instead using the
internal prefix variable, that can be changed/overridden by the
correct APIs.

This patch fixes a bug in the kernel log priority parser introduced in
v2.2.0 with the new support for /dev/kmsg, replacing /proc/kmsg which
has another format for the log priority.

When Linux CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT is set too low, or too many messages are
generated by the kernel, /dev/kmsg will overflow. This is signaled with
EPIPE to userspace. We can use the seqnos to figure out how many we've
lost, but seqnos are currently ignored.
> In case records get overwritten while /dev/kmsg is held open, or
> records get faster overwritten than they are read, the next read()
> will return -EPIPE and the current reading position gets updated to
> the next available record. The passed sequence numbers allow the log
> consumer to calculate the amount of lost messages.

With the new support for /dev/kmsg the tests can run on a system that
already has a syslog daemon, and still receive all kernel messages. We
want to ignore those in this (all?) tests and focus on the forwarding of
messages between two sysklogd.

Fixes the following error on certain buildroot toolchains:
syslogd.c: In function 'fmt5424':

This patch migrates the sysklogd project to use the modern /dev/kmsg
interface on Linux. There are many advantages over the older /proc
interface; 1) no need to wait for /proc to be mounted, 2) it provides
multiple simultaneous access. For more information, see:

When building sysklogd on a uClibc system we must define _GNU_SOURCE to
get O_CLOEXEC.
Since _GNU_SOURCE is also required for asprintf() with GLIBC, as used by
the pidfile() replacement function, we drop it from there and rely on
AM_CPPFLAGS for all sources.

only make $(LIBOBJS) depend on $(LTLIBOBJS) still have race condition,
library like pidfile.o may be changed when compile or link for target
libsyslog_la_LIBADD, which will cause problem like below:
