If there is no cron.allow or cron.deny file, only the superuser may run
the crontab command; for POSIX compliance.  Create an empty cron.deny
file to allow any user to run crontab:

Move contents of /var/at into /var/cron since at is now intergrated into
cron.  When ISC cron 5.0 is out the integration will be even tighter.

Also rename /var/cron/{allow,deny} -> /var/cron/cron.{allow,deny}
for consistency with POSIX and at.{allow,deny} and install an empty
cron.deny file (as we do at.deny) since crontab will require this
in the near future for POSIX compliance.

After a "make build" you can update your system as follows:
# mv /var/at/* /var/cron
# mv /var/cron/jobs /var/cron/atjobs
# mv /var/cron.allow /var/cron/cron.allow
# mv /var/cron.deny /var/cron/cron.deny
# rm -rf /var/at
# kill `cat /var/run/cron.pid` ; cron

Move atrun(8) functionality into cron(8) proper.  This fixes the
long-standing annoyance that atrun's granularity is 10 minutes.
Most at jobs run with a 1 minute granularity.  Jobs submitted via
"at now" or "batch" will run immediately.  Includes a rewritten
cron(8) man page.  at(1) will be integrated more closely into
cron at a future date.

Upgrading notes:
    the atrun job in root's crontab should be removed.
    the /var/at/spool directory is no longer used

crontab is no longer setuid root, it is now setgid crontab.
These changes were modelled after the Owl version of vixie-cron,
but developed independently.

Our crontab used to send cron SIGUSR1 to tell cron to reread the
spool dir.  Now that crontab is not setuid root this doesn't work.
Instead, crontab pokes cron via a Unix domain socket located in the
tabs dir.

Please note, after these changes, the owner on user crontab files
will have to be changed manually from root to the uid of the
corresponding user for crontab to be usable.  cron itself will accept
tab files owned by either root or the user.
Also, any /var/cron/{allow,deny} files must be readable by group crontab.

- fix remaining .Nm usage as well
- this is from a patch I received from kwesterback@home.com, who has been
  working on some scripts for fixing formatting errors in mdoc'd man pages

Ok, so there could be a cost/benefit debate with this commit, but since I have
the patch we might as well commit it...

The proper order of the ``introductory'' macros in a man page is .Dd/.Dt/.Os.
Out of the approximately 1450 man pages, only about 90 of them were wrong.
Thanks to kwesterback@home.com for coming up with a script and patch to repair
this. The patch also inserted a .Os macro in the few man pages that were
missing one.
