Modified files:
        usr.sbin/syslogd: privsep.c 

Log message:
Unveil fits nicely into the syslogd privsep model.  Unveiled files
include config file "r", utmp "r", /dev "rw", /bin/sh "x" for running
piped commands, and the syslogd binary "x" itself for HUP re-exec upon
config loads with changes.  Also unveiled in the privsep process are
the specific log files being written to.

If a config file reload changes no files, the existing privsep process
keeps running with unveil's to the relevant files (therefore it can
cope with newsyslogd taking files away).  If a new config file is loaded
which changes the output files, the privsep process is restarted with
fork+exec, and installs new unveils as needed.  The safety we gain from
unveil is that we've pigeonholed the privsep file-writer to exactly the
files required.

Help from bluhm for some edge cases.
