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

- 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

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.

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.

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

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.

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