fix up various .Nm abuses:
...
- keep the case consistent between the actual name and what's referenced.
e.g, if it's `foo', don't use '.Nm Foo' at the start of a sentence.
- remove unnecessary `.Nm foo' after the first occurrence (except for
using `.Nm ""' if there's stuff following, or for the 2nd and so on
occurrences in a SYNOPSIS
- use Sx, Ic, Li, Em, Sq, and Xr as appropriate

More work on newsyslog(8):
...
- Add some comments. It might be getting a little unclear what's going on.
- Make it useful as non-root.
Also, some new features taken from FreeBSD. The last two are not well
tested yet:
- Specifing log files on the command line limits operation to those files.
- Add cyclic time specification for periodic trimming.
- Add restricted ISO-8601 time specification for periodic trimming.
