Include the calling context in the mail subject, if any.

More concretely, periodic security scripts defaults to being
called from daily ones -- daily context -- so the mail subject
will now be "${HOST} daily security run output" instead of
"{HOST} security run output".

If you switch the period of some security checks to weekly, you
will receive another email "${HOST} weekly security run output".

Export a PERIODIC environment variable from periodic(8). This will
allow periodic security scripts to know if they have been called in
a daily or a weekly context.

Prevent periodic scripts that run longer than the expected period from
starting up before the previous script finishes. This prevents an
infinite number of them from piling up and slowing a system down.

Since all the refactoring to make this happen required churning the
indenting of most of this file, make the indentation more consistent.

mdoc(7) police: fix markup in revision 1.25.

Long ago, there was just /etc/daily. Then /etc/security was split out
of /etc/daily. Some time later, /etc/daily became a set of periodic(8)
scripts. Now, this evolution continues, and /etc/security has been
broken into periodic(8) scripts to make local customization easier and
more maintainable.

Fix situations where none of the scripts executed produce output,
so that we don't see any more ``null message body, hope that's
ok'' messages.

We now see something like ``No output from the 3 files processed''.

Lump all output for a given periodic argument together so that
people with /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily (for example) will
get the output of those jobs together with the normal daily run
rather than getting a second email.

Prompted by: ben

Another overhaul of the periodic stuff.

All periodic sub-scripts <larf> now have their return codes interpreted
by periodic(8). Output may be masked based on variable values in
periodic.conf.

It's also now possible to email periodic output to arbitrary addresses,
or to send it to a log file, examples of which can be found in
newsyslog.conf.

The upshot of it all should be no discernable changes to the default
behaviour of periodic(8).

PR: 21250

Introduce /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, similar in concept to rc.conf.
The only change in the default functionality should be that
the output reports are slightly more verbose WRT files deleted.
