08f9924ec6 Properly use SHA1_Final() instead of SHA_Final().
In this case it doesn't really matter, as long as we turn a TTY name
into a set of shuffled bytes. Still, for correctness we should use the
proper function.

691ac623d7 Remove utmpx stub from libulog.
I'm not increasing the shlib major version for this, because not a
single application outside the base system should have used these
functions in such a short timespan.

Rewrite ulog_login(3) and ulog_logout(3) to build on top of the utmpx
implementation in libc.

c4cd42053e The hostname passed to ulog_login(3) may be optional.
Don't trip on a null pointer being passed to this function when
performing a local login.

42782e4717 Massively extend libulog:
- Just like struct utmp, store strings inside struct utmpx itself. This
  is needed to make things like pututxline() work.
- Add ut_id and ut_pid fields, even though they have little use in our
  implementation.
- It turns out our "reboot" wtmp entries indicate a system boot, so
  remove REBOOT_TIME
- Implement getutxline() and pututxline
- Add getutxuser() and setutxfile(), which allows us to crawl wtmp and
  lastlog files as well.
- Add _ULOG_POSIX_NAMES, so we can already use the POSIX names if we
  really want to.

2208eadf43 Add a new library: libulog.
One of the things I really want to do, is to get rid of the limitations
of our current utmp(5) mechanism:

- It only allows 8 byte TTY device names.
- The hostname only allows 16 bytes of storage.

I'm not a big fan of <utmpx.h>, but I think we should at least try to
add parts of it. Unfortunately we cannot implement <utmpx.h>, because we
miss various fields, such as ut_id, ut_pid, etc. The API provided by
libulog shares some similarities with <utmpx.h>, so it shouldn't be too
hard to port these applications eventually. In most simple cases, it
should just be a matter of removing the ulog_ prefix everywhere.

As a bonus, it also implements a function called ulog_login_pseudo(),
which allows unprivileged applications to write log entries, provided
they have a valid file descriptor to a pseudo-terminal master device.

libulog will allow a smoother transition to a new file format by adding
a library interface to deal with utmp/wtmp/lastlog files. I initially
thought about adding the functionality to libutil, but because I'm not
planning on keeping this library around forever, we'd better keep it
separated.

Next items on the todo list:

1. Port applications in the base system (and ports) to libulog, instead
   of letting them use <utmp.h>.
2. Remove <utmp.h>, implement <utmpx.h> and reimplement this library on
   top.
3. Port as many applications as possible back to <utmpx.h>.
