Internal log messages of INTERNAL_MARK time were created every 30
seconds (TIMERINTVL) instead of every MarkInterval (default 20 min).

The __BEGIN_DECLS and __END_DECLS are internal identifiers in glibc and
are not defined in any standard. Using them fails build on musl
libc, its better to avoid them

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.

When building the sysklogd project --without-klogd we must disable the
kernel logging to console on Linux. This fix depends on how the sysctl
setting `kernel.printk` is configured. The patch only calls the kernel
to set console_loglevel to minimum_console_loglevel.
See the kernel docs for details:

This patch adds a alarm()/SIGALRM based generic timer API to syslogd.
The API takes care to wrap SIGALRM and serialize all timer events to
a standard UNIX pipe(2) which syslogd can poll() for like any other
incoming event.

This bug caused syslogd to fall back to logging to /dev/console for
internal log messages/errors during reconfiguration at runtime.
syslogd has the FreeBSD style of keeping already open log files ready
for logging until re:init() has completed, when new log files are rolled
in and any old ones not to be used anymore are closed.

Refactor of nslookup of unknown remote syslog servers, both when
(re)reading the .conf file and at runtime. This means we retry
DNS lookup every 30 sec, or INET_SUSPEND_TIME +/- 30 sec.

The domark() timer handles a lot of the critical maintenance action in
syslogd, it must always be guaranteed to run.

Only block signals *after* all sanity checking of log message has been
completed, otherwise we will end up with blocked SIGHUP and SIGALRM.

We definitely want to be able to run syslogd in debug mode for extended
periods of time and still run under finit/systemd or similar, letting
users know we run as 'PID'.

When logging to a remote server, using @fqdn syntax in syslog.conf,
syslogd calls getaddrinfo() to resolve the IP address. Older versions
of syslogd gave up after 10 retries. We want to retry forever since we
may be running in a setup with bad network connection to the DNS server
for longer periods of time.
This patch only removes the 'give up' mechanism, which unfortunately
reused the f_prevcount value, which in turn could cause that value to
become -1 and thus trigger an assert(). With this code out of the way,
and the type change in the previous commit, the counter can never again
be negative.
Note: The configurable suspend time before trying again remains at its
default of 3 minutes.

When we fail sending to a remote host, help admin debug the issue by
stating which remote we failed to send to.
Also minor changes to other similar error messages, use same form.

When creating Inet sockets we may get multiple struct addrinfo records.
With this patch we support up to 16 records per Internet peer. When
closing we iterate over all peers and all records.
Refactor socket_close() to clean up any lingering socket path when
closing UNIX socket.

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.
