Previously, 450.status-security would always set rc=3 in inline mode,
because it doesn't know whether "periodic security" is going to find
anything interesting. But this annoyingly results in daily reports that
simply say "Security check: \n\n-- End of daily output --".
This change fixes that by testing whether "periodic security" printed
anything, and setting 450.status-security's exit status to 3 if it did. An
alternative would be to change the exit status of periodic(8) to be the
worst of its scripts' exit statuses, but that would be a more intrusive
change.

If one of the scripts listed in (daily|weekly|monthly)_local is executable,
999.local should simply execute it. Only if the script isn't executable
should 999.local assume it needs /bin/sh.

There are now six additional variables
weekly_status_security_enable
weekly_status_security_inline
weekly_status_security_output
monthly_status_security_enable
monthly_status_security_inline
monthly_status_security_output
alongside their existing daily counterparts. They all have the same
default values.
All other "daily_status_security_${scriptname}_${whatever}"
variables have been renamed to "security_status_${name}_${whatever}".
A compatibility shim has been introduced for the old variable names,
which we will be able to remove in 11.0-RELEASE.
"security_status_${name}_enable" is still a boolean but a new
"security_status_${name}_period" allows to define the period of
each script. The value is one of "daily" (the default for backward
compatibility), "weekly", "monthly" and "NO".
Note that when the security periodic scripts are run directly from
crontab(5) (as opposed to being called by daily or weekly periodic
scripts), they will run unless the test is explicitely disabled with a
"NO", either for in the "_enable" or the "_period" variable.
When the security output is not inlined, the mail subject has been
changed from "$host $arg run output" to "$host $arg $period run output".
For instance:
myfbsd security run output -> myfbsd security daily run output
I don't think this is considered as a stable API, but feel free to
correct me if I'm wrong.
Finally, I will rearrange periodic.conf(5) and default/periodic.conf
to put the security options in their own section. I left them in
place for this commit to make reviewing easier.

This knob removes the tools that are exclusively used to view and

wtmpcvt, ac, lastlogin and utxrm.
The tool w is not in this list, because it has some other functionality
which is unrelated to utmpx; it is hardlinked to the uptime tool.
The WITHOUT_ACCT switch is supposed to omit tools related to process
accounting, namely accton and sa. ac(8) is just a simple tool that

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.

let it rotate /var/log/wtmp again, and update monthly/200.accounting to
take this into account. (Some sites might want to change the parameters
of the rotation; it's easier to do this when it's all centralized in
newsyslog.conf.)
