Summary

Patch to address issues described.

  1. /etc/periodic has special cases for zcat and bzcat, but not for zstd and xz which newsyslog also supports.
  1. newsyslog.conf manpage does not have a xref for zstd(1).
  1. usr.sbin/periodic/etc/monthly/200.accounting does not use temporary files appropriately.
  1. periodic.conf(5) refers to "daily accounting" and "monthly accounting" withouth being clear that "daily" means process accounting and "monthly" is login accounting.
