Based on an idea from dvl's coworker, László DANIELISZ, implement
a new flag, 'E', that prevents newsyslog(8) from rotating the empty
log files. This 'E' flag ist mostly usable in conjunction with 'B'
flag that instructs newsyslog(8) to not insert an informational
message into the log file after rotation, keeping it still empty.

Currently newsyslog supports <include> directive that is used
in our default /etc/newsyslog.conf in the following form:
<include> /usr/local/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/*
While this is suitable for ports installing their own rules
for logs rotation, this also makes newsyslog break entire
processing of all files if it encounters single line it cannot parse.
This includes lines referring to nonexistent username/group for log
ownership, so newsyslog stops calling errx() function in the parser.
With this fix, newsyslog uses warnx() instead of errx() in such cases
to print a warning, recover gracefully and continue with execution.
Among other cases, this unbreaks initial creation of log files
having flag "C" at boot time (newsyslog -CN). This is most important
for systems having RAM-based /var file system like nanobsd(8)-based
that rely on newsyslog to bring system log files into existence.

This happens when compressing a previously uncompressed already-rotated
file, as happens when handling the 'p' flag in newsyslog.conf. The file
name is stored in a flexible array member, so these structures cannot be
stack allocated.
Also make sure that we call change_attrs() and do_zipwork() in dry-run
mode; they handle this properly, contrary to the commit log message for
r327451.

This matches the syslog.conf(5) functionality, and also prevents '.sample' or

The zstd invocation constructed by newsyslog contains one more parameter
than invocations for the other supported compression utilities. However,
the maximum number of arguments was hard-coded, leading to an
out-of-bounds array access when using zstd compression.
Reuse of the index variable in two nested loops resulted in only the first
argument in the list being used (fine for gzip, not fine for zstd). Also
add tests for xz and zstd, and fix the COMPRESS_SUFFIX_MAXLEN macro.

When building the command to execute for compression, newsyslog was modifying
the generic arguments array instead of its own copy.
Meaning on the second file to compress with the same arguments, the command line
was not the one expected.
Fix it by creating one copy of the arguments per execution and modifying that
copy.
While here, print the command line executed in verbose mode.

This is done to allow to use zstd(1) as a compression tool without
having to patch it to change its default behavior.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

This modification adds the capability to newsyslog to write the
rotation message in a format that is compliant with RFC5424. This
capability is enabled on a per-log file basis through a new value
("T") in the flags field in newsyslog.conf. This is useful on systems
that use the RFC5424 format for log files so that the rotation message
format matches that of the other log messages. There has been recent
mention of adding an RFC5424 compliant mode to syslogd and at least
one alternative system log daemon (rsyslogd) that already has the
capability to use that format.

This makes newsyslog use zstandard to compress log files.
Given Z is already taken for gzip and zstandard compression level stands in
between gzip and xz (which has the X flag) chosing Y sounds ok :)
It turns out that we had a couple of more calls to dirname()/basename()
in newsyslog(8) that assume the input isn't clobbered. This is bad,
because it apparently breaks log rotation now that the new dirname()
implementation has been merged.
Fix this by first copying the input and then calling
dirname()/basename(). While there, improve the naming of variables in
this function a bit.

Pull copies of the input pathname string before calling basename() and
dirname() to make this comply to POSIX. Free these copies at the end of
this function. While there, remove the duplication of the 's' ->
'logfname' string. There is no need for this.
After going through the signal work list, during which do_sigwork()
is called and essentially does nothing because -s and -R were
specified on the command line, newsyslog will sleep for 10 seconds
as the (verbose) code says: "Pause 10 seconds to allow daemon(s)
to close log file(s)".
However, the man page verbiage for -R (and -s) seems quite clear
that this sleep() is unnecessary because the daemon was expected
to have already closed the log file before calling newsyslog.
