A log file name may now be prefixed by a '-' if it should not be
explicitly fsynced after kernel messages are logged. This option
should be syntax compatible with a similar option in Linux syslogd.

Introduce to the !program specification a capability similar to the one
that already exists for hosts: being able to specify a section that applies
to every program *except* the one in question.

The normal syntax for program specification is still valid. For the new
capability, one uses:

!-program

Since there is no way to specify a program beginning with a dash in the old
syntax, as it would be interpreted as the case above, the following
alternative syntax to the original capability is provided:

!+program

This shouldn't introduce incompatibilities with any syslogd configuration
in production because -stable's syslogd does not support a dash anywhere in
the program specification.

Allow syslogd to select messages based on the originating host in
a similar way to the way it can select messages from a given program.

Lines beginning with "+hostname" or "#+hostname" select messaes
from that hostname and lines beginning with "-hostname" or "#-hostname"
match messages not from that hostname.

There are some significant style issues left in the original program
selection code and the man page. This should be cleared up in some
later commits.
