This could cause a segfault under -neworder if newsyslog had to rotate

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).

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.

should get rid of a few subtle situations where an existing log
file would not exist (for a short time) while it is being rotated.

was mistakenly calling the standard isnumber() function to find out if
the given 'user' or 'group' were all numeric. This meant that only the
first character of the fields were actually checked, so a username of
(say) '3com' would look like a number, and thus get mapped to uid=3 (bin)
instead of username=3com.
This bug was introduced back in freebsd's v1.1. That initial import
almost matches netbsd's v1.9, except that an internal isnumber()
routine was removed in favor of the standard library version. The thing
is, that internal routine was checking the entire string, and not just
the first digit. In OpenBSD, isnumber() was eventually renamed to
isnumberstr() to make the distinction more obvious, and I'm going to
follow that lead.
I believe this also happens to remove the last references to isnumber()
in the entire freebsd base system.

any file which had a time-interval specified for 'when' and also
specified the 'J' flag would be rotated every time newsyslog was run.

any entries which specify the 'C' option. If -C is given twice, then
newsyslog will create all missing log files. Some of this code comes
from NetBSD, although this implementation does not exactly match theirs.
