90e655ea4e Perform a major cleanup of the usr.sbin Makefiles. 
These are not perfectly in agreement with each other style-wise, but they
are orders of orders of magnitude more consistent style-wise than before.

5d88e21a2a Instead of giving an example of rotating logs at the end of the month, 
give an example of how to rotate logs at the beginning of the month.
Although they sound the same, since both of them rotate logs at the
beginning of the day, the former ended up taking place on, e.g., July
31 00:00 instead of the expected July 31 23:59.  This is contraty to POLA.

70fa0440ad - implement logfile archivation to a separate, user 
configurable directory
- implement alternate and more flexible way to specify
  logfile rotation time in addition to the ISO 8601
  restricted format
- cleanup the source which was a mix of several styles
  of persons who maintained it so far, ran through
  knfom script got from bde.

ae2c5cf197 Go back to allowing ``.'' as a username.group separator for backward 
compatibility.  : is still the documented non-ambiguous approach.  The
algorithm used will correctly parse david.obrien.staff as strrchar() is
used, and in my mind more people would use a ``.'' in the username than
the group name.

8fba304b43 A slight bit of code and doco cleanup, but mostly: 
Add the much-needed and long-desired ability to force the log rotation
to take place on a specific day or time, and document same.  This works
by extending the syntax of the `when' field to allow a restricted
ISO 8601 time specification, and performing the log rotation if newsyslog
is run during the same hour as is specified.

b2805b78b6 1) kill -HUP syslog, even if compressing supposedly "binary" files 
PR:	docs/6385

2) -n (noaction) does not imply -r (run as non-root), since as of
   Rev. 1.12 (ache), -r changes actual behaviour.

3d807d3be6 1) Add yet one optional field: pid file to send SIGHUP to if log rotated 
(good thing for apache f.e.) This change is backward compatible with old
newsyslog.conf files.

2) Do not compress log if SIGHUP sending failed for some reason
(f.e. pid file deleted). Newcoming messages will be lost
otherwise.

3) Misc cleanup while I am here.
