tell that there is a separate email or that the output is logged to a file.
This commit changes the return code for the non-inline case to tell that
this message is not important enough and can be masked if necessary. The
messages from the security checks themself are not affected by this and
show up as before in the periodic security email/file.
The inline case still requests to not mask the output, as with the current
way of handling this there is no easy way to handle this.

X-MFC after: on request
of /etc/daily. Some time later, /etc/daily became a set of periodic(8)
scripts. Now, this evolution continues, and /etc/security has been
broken into periodic(8) scripts to make local customization easier and
more maintainable.

All periodic sub-scripts <larf> now have their return codes interpreted
by periodic(8). Output may be masked based on variable values in
periodic.conf.
It's also now possible to email periodic output to arbitrary addresses,
or to send it to a log file, examples of which can be found in
newsyslog.conf.
The upshot of it all should be no discernable changes to the default
behaviour of periodic(8).

The only change in the default functionality should be that
the output reports are slightly more verbose WRT files deleted.
