As documented in listen.2 manual page, the kernel emits a LOG_DEBUG
syslog message if a socket listen queue overflows. For some appliances,
it may be desirable to change the priority to some higher value
like LOG_INFO while keeping other debugging suppressed.
OTOH there are cases when such overflows are normal and expected.
Then it may be desirable to suppress overflow logging altogether,
so that dmesg buffer is not flooded over long run.
In addition to existing sysctl kern.ipc.sooverinterval,
introduce new sysctl kern.ipc.sooverprio that defaults to 7 (LOG_DEBUG)
to preserve current behavior. It may be changed to any value
in a range of 0..7 for corresponding priority or to -1 to suppress logging.
Document it in the listen.2 manual page.

This reverts commit 76e6e4d72f.
Several programs in the tree use -1 instead of INT_MAX to use
the maximum value. Thanks to Eugene Grosbein for pointing this
out.
Ensure that a negative backlog argument is handled as it if was 0.

sonewconn() emits debug-level messages when a listen socket's queue
overflows. Currently, sonewconn() tracks overflows on a global basis. It
will only log one message every 60 seconds, regardless of how many sockets
experience overflows. And, when it next logs at the end of the 60 seconds,
it records a single message referencing a single PCB with the total number
of overflows across all sockets.
This commit changes to per-socket overflow tracking. The code will now
log one message every 60 seconds per socket. And, the code will provide
per-socket queue length and overflow counts. It also provides a way to
change the period between log messages using a sysctl.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

output and replace it with a new visible sysctl kern.ipc.acceptqueue
of the same functionality. It specifies the maximum length of the
accept queue on a listen socket.
The old kern.ipc.somaxconn remains available for reading and writing
for compatibility reasons so that existing programs, scripts and
configurations continue to work. There no plans to ever remove the
orginal and now hidden kern.ipc.somaxconn.

- Document the fact that a subsequent listen(2) calls on the listening
socket change the backlog argument.
- Note that current listen queue lengths can be queried using netstat(1).

Stop calling system calls "function calls".
Use "The .Fn system call" a-la "The .Nm utility".
When referring to a non-BSD implementation in
the HISTORY section, call syscall a function,
to be safe.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

Use the correct .Bx (BSD UNIX) or .At (AT&T UNIX) macros
instead of explicitly specifying the version in the text
in a bunch of man pages.
