MFC r233648:
Remove trailing whitespace per mdoc lint warning

Approved by: cperciva (implicit)


# 234674 25-Apr-2012 glebius

Merge r233257, r233258 from head:
Don't run through time checks when entry is definitely oversized. This
leads to newsyslog rotating on (size OR time) if both are specified.

Fix a sentence in a paragraph that describes time and interval based
trimming. This sentence vaguely can be interpreted as if it was speaking
about time and size interaction, while it wasn't about it.

# 225736 22-Sep-2011 kensmith

Copy head to stable/9 as part of 9.0-RELEASE release cycle.

Approved by: re (implicit)


# 221873 14-May-2011 sobomax

Add new modifier - "R", when it is specified the path to pid file
will be considered as a path to a binary or a shell script to be executed
after rotation has been completed instead of sending signal to the process
id in that file.

# 126878 12-Mar-2004 trhodes

Move newsyslog.conf.5 to usr.sbin/newsyslog. There is no real history
other than 'initial revision' thus I did not request a repocopy.
