and checks if ntp leapfile needs fetching before entering into the
anticongestion sleep.
Unfortunately some ports still use their own sleeps so, this commit
doesn't address the complete problem which is compounded by every
port that uses its own anticongestion mechanism.

in favor of just rendering the manpage instead of relying on pre-formatted
catpages. Note, this does not impede the ability to use existing catpages,
it just removes the utility to generate them.

Multiple periodic scripts sleep for a random amount of time in order to
mitigate the thundering herd problem. This is bad, because the sum of
multiple uniformly distributed random variables approaches a normal
distribution, so the problem isn't mitigated as effectively as it would be
with a single sleep.
This change creates a single configurable anticongestion sleep. periodic
will only sleep if at least one script requires it, and it will never sleep
more than once per invocation. It also won't sleep if periodic was run
interactively, fixing an unrelated longstanding bug.

periodic(8) already handles the security_show_{success,info,badconfig}
variables correctly. However, those variables aren't explicitly set in
/etc/defaults/periodic.conf or anywhere else, which suggests to the user
that they shouldn't be used.
etc/defaults/periodic.conf
Explicitly set defaults for security_show_{success,info,badconfig}
usr.sbin/periodic/periodic.sh
Update usage string
usr.sbin/periodic/periodic.8
Minor man page updates
One thing I'm _not_ doing is recommending setting security_output to
/var/log/security.log or adding that file to /etc/newsyslog.conf, because
periodic(8) would create it with default permissions, usually 644, and
that's probably a bad idea.

The working copy of leapfile resides in /var/dbntpd.leap-seconds.list.
/etc/ntp/leap-seconds (periodically updated from ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/

automatic leapfile updates be disabled (default).
Automatic leapfile updates are fetched from $ntp_leapfile_sources,
defaulting to https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list,
within $ntp_leapfile_expiry_days (default 30 days) from leap-seconds
file expiry. Automatic updates can be enabled by setting
$daily_ntpd_leapfile_enable="YES" in periodic.conf. To avoid congesting
the ntp leapfile source the automatic update randomized by default but
can be disabled through daily_ntpd_avoid_congestion="NO" in
periodic.conf.

independently. There is no reason to leave their options
with the daily ones, so move them to their own section.
Move periodic scripts' options into their own section. Since r254974,
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.
