Adds -w option to tcpflood to write its local port to a file.
The option accepts a filename and writes the port number followed
by a trailing newline. tcpflood now rejects -w if more than one
connection would be opened.

Fix compilation issues on macOS/Darwin systems and enhance cross-platform
compatibility for BSD variants:
- Add Darwin-specific pthread_setname_np call in tcpsrv.c with enhanced
platform-specific conditional compilation
- macOS (__APPLE__): Single parameter, returns int
- FreeBSD/NetBSD: Two parameters, returns void
- Linux/glibc (default): Two parameters, returns int
This prevents compilation failures across all BSD systems where the
function signature and return type differ, while maintaining existing
compatibility with macOS and Linux systems.
- Add _PATH_UTMP fallback definition in omusrmsg.c for systems
without paths.h or missing _PATH_UTMP definition
- Remove trailing empty line in cfsysline.c for consistency
The change adds proper platform-specific conditional compilation
with clear documentation for each variant and maintains error
checking where the return value is available.
Impact: Fixes build regressions on Darwin and BSD systems while
preserving backward compatibility with existing platforms.

It looks like our previous config was either for a pre-release or
did work albeit not following the (current) published schema.
Now changed it to current form.
Harden default endpoints for cloud-native use: make health/metrics
scrapes proxy-friendly and allow locking them down with Basic Auth.
This aligns imhttp with common Kubernetes/Prometheus patterns and
supports metrics-only deployments.
Impact: /metrics now exports full rsyslog stats with Content-Length;
health and metrics can be gated via htpasswd; unified 500 on failures.
Technical details:
- Add module params: healthCheckBasicAuthFile and metricsBasicAuthFile.
When set, attach a Basic Auth handler that reads an htpasswd file;
reuse the same handler for per-input endpoints by passing the file via
cbdata.
- Rework Prometheus handler to collect data through statsobj in
Prometheus format. Accumulate lines into a growable buffer with
overflow checks, append an imhttp_up gauge, then reply with an
explicit Content-Length and close the connection.
- Fix metrics buffer termination to use a single NUL byte; prevent a
leak when buffer growth fails; consolidate error paths so the buffer is
freed and a single HTTP 500 is emitted.
- Docs: describe new auth options, clarify default paths, document that
metrics responses carry Content-Length, and add examples (including
metrics-only setups).
Before/After: metrics previously exposed a minimal body without auth;
now they export full rsyslog stats with optional Basic Auth and a
Content-Length header.
Previous version potentially contained files in doc directory that
did not belong in it (like temp work files).
Alos upgraded tar format to permit for path name > 99 chars.
Analyzer, working at compilation unit level, cannot detect that
mandatory parameters are always non-NULL. Otherwise, config parsing
would have errored-out and processing would not go into other entry
points. This is part of rsyslog core processing in other compilation
units.
Add concurrency groups with cancel-in-progress to all pull request
workflows so new pushes abort outdated jobs.
Most importantly this saves ressources and also makes follow-up
PR runs much quicker.

Add a GitHub Actions job using codespell to check Sphinx docs in doc/source.
This helps catch spelling errors early and improves documentation quality.
