Unfortunately, libfaketime becomes more and more problematic in newer
versions and causes aborts on some platforms. This provides the ability
to turn it off via --disable-libfaketime.
In the longer term, we should consider writing our own replacement.
The --enable-rtinst configure switch and associated instrumentation
code dates back to the time pre-(valgrind, address sanitizer, ...).
It has not been actively used by rsyslog developers for years and is
inferior to the new debugging tools.
With this commit, we remove the --enable-rtinst option and do some
mild refactoring of the code itself. As it turned out, fully removing
the debug code requires a bit more of time, and we push this as a
follow-on activity. It's not as urgent as getting us to build
properly under all configure switches.

This is necessary as we hit the Travis max runtime limit per VM,
so we need to duplicate the tests. This is done via
--enable-testbench1 and --enable-testbench2 which we than use
in different VMs.
This PR also includes updates to the Travis scripts so that we
use the new capability. We have only duplicated Travis VMs where
acutally necessary -- we may need to do more of this in the future.

Root permissions are uncommon in the CI environmen (requires very special
setup). Test skip if run under non-root, but that pollutes the
testbench result. So the default now is not to do that. The can still be
activated via --enable-root-tests configure switch.

imfile: Initial implementation of solaris FEN API (without wildcards)
FEN API is used to implement simular event based file
monitoring like with inotify.
This commit provides partial functionality. It supports event-driven
processing of files but does not yet provide wildcard functionality.
Wildscards will be provided by a later commit.
This can be committed as-is because the previous code did also
not provide wildcard support, so this is an improvement for
Solaris in any case.

Due to an error in the configure script, on systems without systemd support
an error like
./configure: line 17627: ]: command not found
is shown.
This commit fixes the error in the configure script.
Since commit 5f5eca03a09671b5df609f9ee6f885d63bbedaca we no longer check for
the existence of the man page(s), so it is time to get rid of the message
as well.
Since the early days rsyslog uses the orginal systemd embedded
interface code. This commit changes it to libsystemd where available.
If we do not find libsystemd, we assume the system does not use
systemd, which is a safe assumption nowadays. This ensures we use the
fresh interface code and also removes bloat from our project.

The variable system inside rsyslog is JSON based (for easy consumption
of JSON input, the prime source of structured data). In JSON, keys
("variable names") are case-sensitive. This causes constant problems
inside rsyslog configurations. A major nit is that case-insensitivity
option inside templates (even if turned on) does not work with JSON
keys because they of inner workings*1.
It is much more natural to treat keys in a case-INsensitive way (e.g.
"$!Key" and "$!key" are the same). We do not expect any real problems
out of this, as key names only differing in case is highly unlikely.
However, as it is possible we provide a way to enable case-sensitivity
via the global(variables.casesensitve="on") global config object.
Note that the default is to do case-insensitive matches. The reason
is that this is the right thing to do in almost all cases, and we do
not envision any problems at all in existing deployments.
*1 Note: case-insensitivity in rsyslog is achieved by converting all
names to lower case. So that the higher speed of strcmp() can be used.
The template option does actually that, convert the template keys to
lower case. Unfortunately, this does not work with JSON, as JSON keys
are NOT converted to lower case.

now you can continue logging after switch to persistent
journal without need to restart rsyslog service.
Bumped correspondidng systemd version dependency.
Many tests depend on omstdout. Given the fact that omstdout
is really only useful for the testbench (at least that's the intent),
we now require --enable-omstdout if --enable-testbench is given.
The alternative would have been to disable all those tests that
need it, which would have lead to considerable less testbench
coverage.

The KSI subsystem has been replaced by a newer Guardtime-provided
subsystem. Note that the old KSI subsystem does no longer work
to to Guardtime backend changes.
Libgt still continous to work.

Also fixed tryresume and doAction handling when action is
in suspend state.
Calling for Callbacks more often.
Adjusted kafka fail test settings.
diag.sh script detects of kafka server comes up proberly
Added liblz4 to dependencies for omkafka/imkafka needed
for static linking.
This addresses the omkafka queue problem from issue:

Yet it does not fully solve the message problem yet,
but I am working on this.
