Document support for the new -s and -R command-line options, and
the 'N' flag. These were coded in March as revisions 1.55 and 1.56
of newsyslog.c. I intend to MFC all the matching changes next week.
This also reorganizes the description of the 'flags' field to give
list of the valid flags, instead of a long paragraph explaining
each of the possible values.

Obtained from: NetBSD (in spirit at least, for -s and N)

Add a new `W' flag, that when used in conjunction with the `Z' flag or the
`J' flag means that newsyslog should wait for previously started compression
jobs to complete before starting a new one for this entry. When it is used
along with the `G' flag, in the case when several logfiles match the pattern
and should be compressed, the newsyslog will compress logs one by one,
ensuring that only one compression job is running at a time.

This prevents newsyslog(8) from overloading system by starting several
compression jobs on big files simultaneously.

Add a new newsyslog.conf flag - 'G', which if set tells newsyslog(8) that
the specified filename of the log to be rotated is in fact shell glob
pattern. In this case, all files matching this pattern will be rotated
using the same options. Useful in the case when there is no pre-defined
name for the logfiles (e.g. xtradius, samba etc).

Instead of giving an example of rotating logs at the end of the month,
give an example of how to rotate logs at the beginning of the month.
Although they sound the same, since both of them rotate logs at the
beginning of the day, the former ended up taking place on, e.g., July
31 00:00 instead of the expected July 31 23:59. This is contraty to POLA.

# f2e366a1 01-Mar-2000 Sheldon Hearn <sheldonh@FreeBSD.org>

Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

Correctly refer to the companion program rather than as "chown".
Clean up wording a little (like I have any idea what real English looks like...)

Syntax for user/group is changed from "user.group" to "user:group" to be
consistant with chown(8).
