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

ff4f2cdb31 Replace homegrown PID file functions with std BSD pidfile()
- 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

4f5124cb79 Change command line option for log rotation, from -b/-c --> -R b:c
We want to use -b for binding to an address:port, like FreeBSD/NetBSD
supports using this option.  Unfortunately breaks existing setups in
the wild already.

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.

bdb1d45f90 Refactor and drop '-n' option for rotation
The '-n' option is commonly used for remote servers, so let's
consolidate the log rotation under the '-r' flag instead, with
the same syntax as previously established in syslog.conf

1a09654e79 Add logger tool from Finit project to complement sysklogd
This patch introduces a relicensed logit from the Finit[1] project.  It
has been rebranded as logger to complement the features implemented in
the sysklogd project.

Note, logger conflicts with the tool of the same name from util-linux.

d7bfb2c66f Activate built-in log rotation feature, disabled by default
Basically just removes the #ifdef blocks around the code.  With the
feature disabled by defult this should be safe.
