newsyslog(8): Add option to globally override compression method.

Historically, newsyslog compressed rotated log files to save disk space.
This was useful in the early days. However, with modern file systems like
ZFS offering native compression, and with the availability of larger hard
drives, the benefits of additional compression have become less significant.
This is particularly true considering the inconvenience of decompressing
log files when searching for specific patterns.

Additionally, the original implementation of compression methods was not
future-proof. As a result, we have redefined the J, X, Y, Z flags to
signify "treat the file as compressible" rather than "compress the file
with that specific method."

A new command-line option, -c, has been introduced to allow overriding
these settings in a more future-proof way. The available choices are:

* none - do not compress, regardless of flag.
* legacy - historical behavior: J=bzip2, X=xz, Y=zstd, Z=gzip.
* bzip2, xz, zstd, gzip - apply the specified compression method.

Currently, the default is set to 'legacy' to preserve historical behavior.
However, our intention is to change this default to 'none' in FreeBSD 15.0.

Additionally, this update changes the default settings for zstd to use
multithreading and long-range options, better aligning with its intended
use.

Based on an idea from dvl's coworker, László DANIELISZ, implement
a new flag, 'E', that prevents newsyslog(8) from rotating the empty
log files. This 'E' flag ist mostly usable in conjunction with 'B'
flag that instructs newsyslog(8) to not insert an informational
message into the log file after rotation, keeping it still empty.

Add newsyslog capability to write RFC5424 compliant rotation message.

This modification adds the capability to newsyslog to write the
rotation message in a format that is compliant with RFC5424. This
capability is enabled on a per-log file basis through a new value
("T") in the flags field in newsyslog.conf. This is useful on systems
that use the RFC5424 format for log files so that the rotation message
format matches that of the other log messages. There has been recent
mention of adding an RFC5424 compliant mode to syslogd and at least
one alternative system log daemon (rsyslogd) that already has the
capability to use that format.
