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.

This patch drops the configure flag --with-syslogd-pidfile=foo since
syslogd now natively supports custom PID file using -P foo.
Also, the default PID file and syslog.conf paths have been changed from
the hard-coded /var/run (_PATH_VARRUN) and /etc to use configure paths.
This may not be appreciated by everyone but allows the project to have
support for all use-cases in a de facto standard fashion.

This patch looks big, but it's really just fprintlog() being split up
into three new functions: fprintlog_first() & fprintlog_successive() and
fprintlog_write(). Similar to how the FreeBSD syslogd is structured.
In the refactoring process Joey's proxy-prevention was removed.

When a heavily loaded system starts up syslogd may not in time reach its
original installation of the SIGHUP handler before receiving the signal.
It will then die and have to be restarted by PID 1.
This patch installs the SIGHUP handler early, with all the other signals
right after command line parsing.

This patch adds compatibility with sysklgd v1.6 and also adds the new
action flag "RFC3164" to explicitly be able to set old format. This
format is the default, except for remote syslog. Also, the rotation
support added in v1.6 has chnaged syntax which this patch addresses.
- Remote syslog defaults to BSD format, w/o timestamp and hostname
- Support reading log rotation without ';rotate=' prefix

The strlcat() and strlcpy() functions are only intended to be used
by syslog.c internally (and syslogd), when building libsyslog.
A user linking with libsyslog may have another library that provides
strlcat() or strlcpy() replacements. We must therefore mark ours as
weak functions so they can be overridden.
This patch also add a convenience library for libsyslog, to control
the build deps. for libsyslog. This is where external dependencies
should be addded (explicitly) when syslog.c is updated from NetBSD.
If you add new deps you likely want to mark them too as weak refs.

This special build option enabled reading syslog messages from stdin on
syslogd. It also disabled all other standard features of syslogd, which
made it a bit too far from the real thing.
A better approac is to start syslogd with -p /tmp/foo and let a test
application, e.g. logger -u /tmp/foo, connect using the standard UNIX
domain socket API.

This massive patch brings support for parsing incoming syslog messages,

For logging syslogd currently defaults to RFC3164 for local files and
supports RFC5424 for sending to remote servers.

When a user links with syslog.c, or the future libsyslog, they may still
use the standard GLIBC header files. GLIBC redirects syslog() to the
__syslog_chk() definition early on, but a user may not notice when a
simple non-optimized (-O0 or none) program is compiled.
This currently does not affect musl libc.

On modern systems, both *BSD and Linux using GLIBC/musl, the signal's
disposition is not reset to SIG_DFL on invocation of its handler. On
Linux this is true because GLIBC/musl wraps signal() in sigaction()
with the same semantics as BSD.
A follow-up commit will refactor to use sigaction().

No need to check for SYSV (?) to include fcntl.h since syslogd.c already
