When syslogd forks a process for '|' destinations, it closes all file
descriptors greater than 2.
Use closefrom() for this instead of a getdtablesize()/close() loop because
it is both faster and avoids leaving file descriptors open because the limit
was lowered after they were opened.

Checking if it is > 0 doesn't make sense, because snprintf returns
how much space is needed if the buffer is too small. Instead, check
if the return value was greater than the buffer size, and truncate
the message if it was too long.
It isn't clear if snprintf can return a negative value in the case
of an error - I don't believe it can. If it can, then testing
v->iov_len won't help 'cos it is a size_t, not an ssize_t.
Also, as clang points out, we must always increment v here, because
later code depends on the message being in iov[5].
standard ports, but it can't *receive* them (port 514 is
hardcoded). This commit adds that missing feature.
(NB: I actually needed this feature for a server farm where
multiple jails run with shared IP addresses, and every jail
should have its own syslogd process.)
As a side effect, syslogd now compiles with WARNS=6.

Please note that this can't be done while such processes run in jails.
Note: in future it would be interesting to find a way to do that
selectively for any desired proccess (choosen by user himself), probabilly
via a ptrace interface or whatever.

internal list of logfiles. So if writev(2) fails for potentially transient
errors like ENOSPC, syslogd requires a restart, even if the filesystem has
purged.
This change allows syslogd to ignore ENOSPC space errors, so that when the
filesystem is cleaned up, syslogd will automatically start logging again
without requiring the reset. This makes syslogd(8) a bit more reliable.
