The original idea with libcompat was to keep as few objects as
possible for linking with libsyslog. That in turn to prevent
a user of libsyslog from suddenly also getting strong binding
to symbols like strlcpy() from libsyslog, rather than their C
library of choice.
However, this caused strlcpy.c to be built as both .o and .lo
files, which in turn caused really bizarre build problems due
to bad DAG dependency.
This patch drops libcompat and instead marks all replacement APIs
as weak symbols, which a C library can override.

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.

- 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
