08b6c6fd0f man: Sync FreeBSD syslog.conf.5 man page w/ limitations in sysklogd
The FreeBSD syslogd has more priority matching features and can also
group rules per program/hostname logging.  The sysklogd project does
not yet support this, so that is removed and instead the syntax and
examples are better described.

881fd52acc man: Sync FreeBSD syslogd man page with the realities of the project
Add missing -r option for log rotation and remove -8 option, which we
don't have yet.

Add SECURITY, DEBUGGING, and SIGNALS sections and expand upon the BUGS
section a bit to link things together.

6bb6672ebf Remove klogd from the sysklogd project
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.

ac8b8ebf0d klogd.8: Remove wording on role and superiority over syslogd
For most use-cases a kernel with CONFIG_KALLSYMS and a stand-alone
syslogd is sufficient.  No need for the complexity of klogd.

0f0f8f845d syslogd: Add FreeBSD and NetBSD -n flag to disable DNS query
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.

05f14d8366 Massive cleanup and simplification of syslogd man page
Most of the functionality in syslogd is now up to par with NetBSD and
FreeBSD syslogd.  Lots of syklogd project features have been removed and
syslog in itself is nothing new and surprising, so much of the text can
be greatly simplified or just removed.

4ee6211277 syslogd: Refactor internals to use new socket API
This patch is inspired, in part, by FreeBSD syslogd but now diverges
onto its own path.  Special handling for AF_UNIX sockets are required
on Linux, which unlike BSD cannot use getaddrinfo() on UNIX sockets.

- Rip out old funix[] and finet support
- Add new concept of peers
- Linked list of peers can be > 20
- Temporarily open up to accept all remote conns
- Remove old logerror(), replaced with new log macros
