When called with an absolute pathname, periodic should attempt to execute
every script in that directory. If the directory does not exist, it should
print an error and exit 1. Due to a copy/paste mistake in r231568, it exits
0 in that case.

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.

periodic(8) already handles the security_show_{success,info,badconfig}
variables correctly. However, those variables aren't explicitly set in
/etc/defaults/periodic.conf or anywhere else, which suggests to the user
that they shouldn't be used.

Explicitly set defaults for security_show_{success,info,badconfig}

Update usage string
usr.sbin/periodic/periodic.8
Minor man page updates
One thing I'm _not_ doing is recommending setting security_output to
/var/log/security.log or adding that file to /etc/newsyslog.conf, because
periodic(8) would create it with default permissions, usually 644, and
that's probably a bad idea.

More concretely, periodic security scripts defaults to being
called from daily ones -- daily context -- so the mail subject
will now be "${HOST} daily security run output" instead of
"{HOST} security run output".
If you switch the period of some security checks to weekly, you
will receive another email "${HOST} weekly security run output".

infinite number of them from piling up and slowing a system down.
Since all the refactoring to make this happen required churning the
indenting of most of this file, make the indentation more consistent.
