syslog_daemon: Converted to BServer.

* Instead of letting the kernel search for the syslog port, the
daemon now registers itself with the kernel (which even solves
a TODO).
* A port is created for the actual log messages from the launch_daemon,
and used on start.
* However, the SyslogTest does not yet work, due to the BMessage <->
KMessage communication problems.

Remove /boot/common for good

* Remove support for the "common" installation location from packagefs,
package kit, package daemon, package managers.
* Rename the B_COMMON_*_DIRECTORY constants referring to writable
directories to B_SYSTEM_*_DIRECTORY.
* Remove/adjust the use of various B_COMMON_*_DIRECTORY constants.
I'm sure some occurrence still remain. They can be adjusted when the
remaining B_COMMON_*_DIRECTORY constants are removed.

Get app_server working on x86_64.

With this commit, app_server now compiles and runs at boot! Nothing
particularly interesting happens, just the blue background and a mouse
pointer. Remote backends are broken and not compiled in, see #8834.
Note that it won't be possible to build this quite yet, need to get
the FreeType package uploaded.

* Minor cleanup.

Made maximum syslog size and inclusion of timestamps configureable in kernel settings.

The syslog_daemon now ignores zero length messages, and the kernel's syslog
mechanism doesn't send them out any longer.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@16153 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Now adds the header to every line of the message received.

* "<TRUNC>" was added one byte too late, causing the stack to be overwritten.
* now makes sure the message string received is null terminated.
* made buffer size depending on the syslog defines.

The daemon now runs on top of our kernel, so it should now write to
the real syslog.
Also, find_directory() now makes sure that the path to the syslog
actually exists.

Fixed some bugs concerning switching the log when it's getting too large:
never closed old file - with BeOS, it would only get deleted if the server
would be restarted... good for disk fragmentation etc.
Also, renaming failed if there already was a syslog.old file - it's now
removed first.
Furthermore, the first time the syslog was opened, its size was not checked,
the first output always went through.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@5346 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Implemented syslog output. For now, it will be put into /tmp (i.e. the tests
won't clobber your existing syslog).
The time stamp is currently #ifdef'd out. We might think about adding some
prefs; the facility could also only printed for kernel messages (like in
Be's implementation).

Implemented the syslog_daemon. Actual syslog output is not yet implemented;
it currently only puts out everything to stdout.
Is able to accept listeners who will get the syslog notes as well.
