For most use-cases a kernel with CONFIG_KALLSYMS and a stand-alone
syslogd is sufficient. No need for the complexity of klogd.

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.

This patch makes us wire-compatible with older versions of ourself, and
current versions set up to use default remote format.

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.

This patch drops the configure flag --with-syslogd-pidfile=foo since
syslogd now natively supports custom PID file using -P foo.
Also, the default PID file and syslog.conf paths have been changed from
the hard-coded /var/run (_PATH_VARRUN) and /etc to use configure paths.
This may not be appreciated by everyone but allows the project to have
support for all use-cases in a de facto standard fashion.

This patch looks big, but it's really just fprintlog() being split up
into three new functions: fprintlog_first() & fprintlog_successive() and
fprintlog_write(). Similar to how the FreeBSD syslogd is structured.
In the refactoring process Joey's proxy-prevention was removed.

This patch fixes the omission of final ':' following a content TAG when
an app-name without a process ID is included.

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.

It's a lot easier to debug the remote test with Wireshark if we log to
the default service port on the remote host.
