ea640d778b Add new modifier - "R", when it is specified the path to pid file
will be considered as a path to a binary or a shell script to be executed
after rotation has been completed instead of sending signal to the process
id in that file.

449590b192 Fix an old bug in newsyslog where we kept one log file more than was
requested in newsyslog.conf.  This was only the case using the non-time
based filenames (.0, .1, .2 etc.).

The change also makes newsyslog clean clean up the old extra logfile so
users don't end up with a single stale logfile which won't be rotated
out.

This change also cleans up some code a bit to avoid more copy / paste
code and removes some old copy / paste code in the process.

8c6269ba81 Make code more friendly to the non-C99 compilers - don't allocate
local variables in the `for' loop declaration. This allows trunk
newsyslog.c to be compiled on 7.x. This change should be no-op from
the functional POV.

872e964d07 Add support for creating the archived log filenames using a time-stamp
instead of the traditional simple counter.

Using the time-stamp based file-names, once a log file is archived, it
will not change name until it is deleted.  This means that many backup
systems will only perform one backup of the archived log file, instead
for performing a new backup of the logfile upon each logfile rotation.

This implementation is separate from the patches in the mentioned PR,
as I wasn't aware of the existence of the PR until after I had
implemented the same functionality as the patches in the PR provide.
Unlike the PR, this new code does honor the 'log count' in
newsyslog.conf so old logfiles are deleted.  This new code does not
currently support never deleting the archived logfiles.

9e3daa8dcf Because the `permission' field in conf_entry is intended to be used as
parameter 2 in chmod(2), which is a mode_t (and in turn a __uint_16_t),
it's more likely that it should be defined as an unsigned variable.

until I have a universe build.

5ff798ca5f Fix the check for a "duplicate filename to compress", so that we're checking
the *filename* and not the pid_file(!).   Stupid brain-fault on my part.
This could cause a segfault under -neworder if newsyslog had to rotate
multiple files, and later ones had specifed the 'N' flag.

aa6904eb66 In "neworder" processing, reduce the delay between signals to separate
processes, and balance that by adding a 10-second delay after all the
processes have been signaled.  Also improvement a few messages printed

7f5b34d7c0 Major re-ordering of the steps that newsyslog will use when processing
files to rotate.  The new order will first rotate all files that need
to be rotated, and then send a single signal to each process which
needs to be signaled, and finally it will compress all the files which
were rotated.

This means daemons will be signaled once per run of newsyslog, instead
of once per file rotated.  Also, files will be compressed in order of
file-size (smallest to largest).  Also, it waits for each file to be
completely compressed before starting the next one (effectively as if
the 'w' flag is specified for all entries in newsyslog.conf).  This
avoids the situation of having 10 gzip's going at the same time (each
with a log.0 and a log.0.gz file active), and it also means that file
attributes can be reliably set on files after they are compressed.

NOTE: This commit does define NEWORDER (which you could get rid of if
you really don't trust this), but it does not flip the "-D neworder"
switch.  So, at the moment none of these changes happen unless you
request them (perhaps by adding '<debug> neworder' in newsyslog.conf).

9d780a43c4 A variety of minor changes. Allow users to set a debugging option via
the newsyslog.conf file.  Rename one size-related variable, and move
another one from the stack into conf_entry.  Add a routine to change
file-attributes (chown, chmod, chflags), instead of having several
places doing the same sequence of system-calls.  A few cosmetic/style
changes.

These should not effect any users.  Most of these probably look
pointless, but they are the "insignificant parts" of a much larger
update that I'll be committing soon.  Doing these as a separate update
should make that update easier to read.
