6bb6672ebf Remove klogd from the sysklogd project
This patch removes one of the traditionally key pieces of the sysklogd
project, klogd.  Now that syslogd performs logging of kernel messages
we no longer require a separate daemon for that.

84aa897628 Consolidate option parsing for syslog.conf rules
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

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.
