Do not corrupt logfiles when kernel messages contain control codes,
notably \n. Instead, preserve the kernel's protective C-style hex
encoding. For example, \n embedded in a message by a kernel-level
facility is received as "\x0a". Kernel-level facilities cannot be
trusted to use only syslog-safe codes in kernel messages. See:
<https://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/testing/dev-kmsg>
This change avoids the possibility of advancing past the null
terminator, by always testing the value at the pointer before
advancing the pointer.
While repairing this, I reconciled the code sections that read the
priority, sequence, and timestamp, so that they handle the pointer in
exactly the same way. This makes the source easier to maintain.
Only to clean up, possibly relevant for no-MMU systems, but
they have other issues as well (e.g. fork) that prevent them
from using the sysklogd project.

This disables the "unauthenticated remote disk-filling service" by
default. A user can easily change this to 0 (or 2) to allow other
systems to log to their syslogd.

Logic for secure mode setting in .conf file
- Command line always wins
- SIGHUP activates changes
Note, if -s is given on command line it always wins, regardless.

This is redundant and causes message truncation. The <PRI> field is
skipped within wallmsg() itself.

Many projects use sysklogd with the shipped syslog.conf as their own
default /etc/syslog.conf. This is fine of course, but for many small
embedded systems getting all debug messages in the log by default is not
desirable.
This change drops debug messages from /var/log/syslog by default and
recommends admins to use /var/log/debug, or drop the debug filter.

This patch allows the user to disable the 8-bit data check in the log
message validator. If you have experienced problems with logging any
unicode (utf-8) messages after v1.6, this option is for you.
The correct way to handle this is to add proper parser support for the
Unicode BOM, defined in RFC5424[1], as NetBSD syslogd does[2], search
for IS_BOM().

This patch refactors the way the primary and secondary syslogd is
started by the test framework. The generalizations not only make the
code more readable, it hopefully also makes it easier to add new tests
in the future.

The usage text (syslogd -?) and the syslogd.8 man page was not in sync
wrt. the -b option. This patch updates it to match the layout of -a,
the -a option is also slightly updated.

Since we currently cannot test kernel logging, and we don't want to risk
any log messages from the kernel to suddenly pop up and disturb tests,
this patch explicitly disables it.
