This corrects a bug in which the daily periodic script '310.accounting'
attempts to rotate logs via /etc/rc.d/accounting by calling
onerotate_logs function. The rotate logs function turns accounting back
on regardless of what acccounting_enable is set to in /etc/rc.conf. This
is due to checkyesno always returning YES since rotate logs is called
with the 'one' prefix.
In effect, accounting will always be turned back on once a day even if
it is disabled and stopped by hand. The fix was simple, just check if
accounting is before rotating logs and if it is, don't attempt the
rotate.

This fixes duplicate mails (one from cron, one from periodic)
when a periodic run is not finished bfore the next one starts.
The man page states that the intended use case is cron, and
the error handling of the lockf invocation handles this case
explicitely, as such no error message for the "interactive"
use was considered.
dma(8) supports mailq, but not mailq -Ac to print the submission
queue. Don't try to print that queue from the daily script if
mailq -Ac returns an error.

dma(8) does not have hoststat or purgestat, so this script produces
an error from the daily script. We could disable this script, but
that would mean yet another change to switch back to sendmail. Check
for purgestat in mailer.conf before attempting either hoststat or
purgestat.

With the initial import of 386BSD 0.1 in 1993, the daily execution of
/etc/news.expire was introduced (see commit 1bf9d5d951).
In 1997, this was brought into periodic resulting in daily/330.news
(see commit 28dce04d19). But as far as I see, /etc/news.expire has
never existed.

Revision 316342, which introduced the anticongestion feature, failed to
consider that the periodic scripts are executed by a recursive invocation of
periodic. The recursive invocation wrongly cleaned up a temporary file that
should've been cleaned up only by the original invocation. The result is
that if the first script that requests an anticongestion sleep runs after
the security scripts, the sleep won't happen.
Fix this bug by delaying cleanup until the end of the original invocation.

In 2011, r218961 removed local code for rotating logs in favor of using the
rotate_log command in etc/rc.d/accounting. If the accounting service is
activated then subsequently de-activated in rc.conf but still remains active
in periodic.conf, then you get an error message every day in the periodic
jobs about being unable to rotate the logs.
With this change to use "onerotate_log", the log rotation will happen the
first time periodic daily runs after accounting was disabled but periodic
accounting was left enabled. After that happens once, the /var/account/acct
will no longer exist, which results in a different path through the periodic
code and no more error messages will appear (unless daily_show_badconfig is
set, in which case the admin will be told that periodic security processing
is enabled but the accounting file is not present).
This is only a partial fix for the problems reported in PR 202203.

Multiple periodic scripts sleep for a random amount of time in order to
mitigate the thundering herd problem. This is bad, because the sum of
multiple uniformly distributed random variables approaches a normal
distribution, so the problem isn't mitigated as effectively as it would be
with a single sleep.
This change creates a single configurable anticongestion sleep. periodic
will only sleep if at least one script requires it, and it will never sleep
more than once per invocation. It also won't sleep if periodic was run
interactively, fixing an unrelated longstanding bug.
