The default syslog parameters are to keep only 200-400 KiB of logs,
which is very few if there is a spammy daemon on the system, or a daemon
that fails and then spams errors that hides the original problem.
Make S01logging source a /etc/default/logging file where these
parameters can be overridden.

'echo -n' is not a POSIX construct (no flag support), we shoud use
'printf', especially in init script.
This patch was generated by the following command line:
git grep -l 'echo -n' -- `git ls-files | grep -v 'patch'` | xargs sed -i 's/echo -n/printf/'

restart wasn't doing anything, and the expected behaviour is stop/start.

* The PID file is not created unless the '-m' option is passed to
start-stop-daemon.
* Remove the mark '-m 0' option as it's not supported by busybox's
syslogd.
* Syslogd and Klogd forks to background by default giving as a result
that the pid stored in the PID file is not correct. Let the
background job be done by 'start-stop-daemon' by passing '-n'
(foreground) to the daemons and '-b' to start-stop-daemon. This
way the pid stored in the PID files is correct.

The S01logging script currently displays the start/stop messages like this:
Start logging :OK
The normal form for these messages is:
Start logging: OK

The logging mechanism startup being in inittab, it isn't easy to
overcharge the default policy. With this patch, the startup of the
syslog daemon is moved to an init.d script, that can easily be
overwritten.
