df76ac9951 newsyslog: implement 'p' flag
Implement the 'p' flag for newsyslog from NetBSD. This flag results in
the first log file for a given file to not be compressed.

While here, don't change file attributes during a no-op run

b326fec486 Add newsyslog capability to write RFC5424 compliant rotation message.
This modification adds the capability to newsyslog to write the
rotation message in a format that is compliant with RFC5424. This
capability is enabled on a per-log file basis through a new value
("T") in the flags field in newsyslog.conf. This is useful on systems
that use the RFC5424 format for log files so that the rotation message
format matches that of the other log messages. There has been recent
mention of adding an RFC5424 compliant mode to syslogd and at least
one alternative system log daemon (rsyslogd) that already has the
capability to use that format.

1af6dc18b9 Add a new Y flag to newsyslog.conf
This makes newsyslog use zstandard to compress log files.

Given Z is already taken for gzip and zstandard compression level stands in
between gzip and xz (which has the X flag) chosing Y sounds ok :)

7f06c60810 Fix a sentence in a paragraph that describes time and interval based
trimming. This sentence vaguely can be interpreted as if it was speaking
about time and size interaction, while it wasn't about it.

ea640d778b Add new modifier - "R", when it is specified the path to pid file
will be considered as a path to a binary or a shell script to be executed
after rotation has been completed instead of sending signal to the process
id in that file.
