manuals: System message vs kernel message
Wordsmith mentions throughout the manual of syslog and dmesg, to clearly differentiate them in an externally consisteny way, increasing operator onboarding speed and elegance. The daemon that handles general system messages, syslog, describes them as "system messages", and "messages" is the standard filename. Rewrite syslog related manual titles to align search results with this, and hier entries to align the index. Use care to maintain keywords and not add extra lines. Newsyslog trades "maintain" with "rotate" for visibility. MFC after: 3 days Reviewed by: markj Closes: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/pull/2067
