syslog_daemon: add syslog_max_history option

This driver setting in ~/config/settings/kernel/drivers/kernel allows setting an arbitrary number of syslog files to keep around. The files are now named with a numeric suffix instead of being called "syslog.old". The old files are rotated so that syslog.1 is the newest, then syslog.2, and so on.
