bcc3c7c1fb Prevent logfile corruption by control codes
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:

92a4fb3318 Fix #29: prevent repeating kernel messages when syslogd is restarted
This patch fixes the problem with kernel messages being repeated when
syslogd is restarted at runtime.  This is achieved by caching the last
seqno read from /dev/kmsg to /run/syslogd.cache.  The latter is usually
a ram disk these days so it should be a fairly quick op.

Excessive updates are prevented by only caching after handling all
callbacks in the socket_poll() loop, and only updating the cache
if there has been any new kernel messages since last update.

cf9d281e5b syslogd: Adopt FreeBSD -F instead of -n to run in foreground
This change will probably break most installations.  We do this to free
up '-n' for use as disabling DNS lookups, from FreeBSD *and* NetBSD.

Now that we've dropped the previous -r flag we can rename the rotation
flag so it's the same between both logger and syslogd.

Basically just removes the #ifdef blocks around the code.  With the
feature disabled by defult this should be safe.
