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.

In particular, this allows an administrator to specify "-h" for human
readable output if that is preferred.
The default setting passes "-d", so that can be excluded by using a custom
setting.

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.

Features:
- configurable amount of days between scrubs (default value or per pool)
- do not scrub directly after pool creation (respects the configured
number of days between scrubs)
- do not scrub if a scrub is in progress
- tells how to see the status of the scrub
- tells how many days since the last scrub if it skips the scrubbing
- warns if a non-existent pool is specified explicitely
(default: no pools specified -> all currently imported pools are
handled)
- runs late in the periodic run to not slow down the other periodic daily
scripts

This adds a ``daily_status_security_pfdenied_enable'' variable to
periodic.conf, which defaults to ``YES'' as the matching IPF(W) versions.
The output will look like this (line wrapped):

The new mailq display is only active if both the old
daily_status_mailq_enable is set to "YES" and the new
daily_status_include_submit_mailq is set to "YES" so people who disabled
440.status-mailq won't have any surprises.
Likewise, the new queue run is only active if both the old
daily_queuerun_enable is set to "YES" and the new daily_submit_queuerun
is set to "YES" so people who disabled 500.queuerun won't have any
