4f5124cb79 Change command line option for log rotation, from -b/-c --> -R b:c
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.

6b07e96753 Add Emacs mode hinting, mostly for syslog.conf.5
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.

bdb1d45f90 Refactor and drop '-n' option for rotation
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

1a09654e79 Add logger tool from Finit project to complement sysklogd
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.

d7bfb2c66f Activate built-in log rotation feature, disabled by default
Basically just removes the #ifdef blocks around the code.  With the
feature disabled by defult this should be safe.
