It was noticed that syslogd and klogd were no longer running on system
startup, meaning no /var/log/messages etc.. It appears as though
sysklogd has never been updated to follow the expected logging
requirement for systemd as described here:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/syslog/
As such no service was started and no logging present. Using the above
guidelines we create two new service files syslogd.service and
klogd.service. We make use of tmpfiles.d in order to ensure the
xconsole device node exists and do other minor recipe cleanup to
ensure peaceful coexistence with sysvinit and systemd implementations.
The systemd documentation also asks that for a logger which is not
rsyslog that we also enable 'ForwardToSyslog=' in journald.conf, but
this is already the case so no action is required.
With this change in place syslogd and klogd are started at system
startup and the expected logs are available.
Unfortunately I was not able to find any work done on this upstream or
in other distros so this is my best effort at making this work.

Yocto #2926: syslog.conf should not have tabs within the selector field.
Removed tabs from the selector field of syslog rules. Tabs or spaces
should be used, in syslog.conf, only when separating selectors from
actions.

This patch fixes several issues with the sysklogd recipe:
o Errors at start due to non-existent /var/log/news/ - every other log
file is created in /var/log, not a sub-directory. Do the same for news
logs.
o klogd would not be stopped due to pidfile recycling, give klogd its own
pidfile
o preinstalls failed at rootfs creation time by trying to access the host
root filesystem rather than a path relative to $D. Update the preinst to
test for $D and do the right thing.

This commit fix [BUGID #482]
Two issues cause bug 482:
- firsty, there are two version of syslog: sysklogd and busybox.
the busybox one is directly installed as /etc/init.d/syslog,
and the sysklogd one is installed by update-alternative. the
update-alternative will thus fail because the /etc/init.d/syslog
(busybox one) already exist and not a link. so the correct way
is to install busybox one by update-alternative, the layout will be:
/etc/init.d/syslog.busybox
/etc/init.d/syslog.sysklogd
/etc/init.d/syslog -> syslog.busybox or
/etc/init.d/syslog -> syslog.sysklogd
- secondly, sysklogd default conf is not comply with poky. Its dir /var/adm/
does not exist. Check the debian /etc/syslog.conf and find it is more
sophiscated and suitable, so port /etc/syslog.conf from debian.
