Limiting the size of syslogd output files using options in syslog.conf

I've posted a review of a small syslogd change which lets you set a
limit on the size of syslogd output files in /etc/syslog.conf.  The
idea is to prevent filling up a filesystem on emmc or sdcard or other
small storage device on an embedded system with unexpected logging
triggered by some error or failing hardware.
