klogd: make it work on non-linux systems
The klogctl() interface allows changing the console loglevel, but is Linux-specific. The more portable method of reading from _PATH_KLOG is added as an alternative.

+ The klogd applet supports two interfaces for reading
+ kernel messages. Linux provides the klogctl() interface
+ which allows reading messages from the kernel ring buffer
+ independently from the file system.
+
+ If you answer 'N' here, klogd will use the more portable
+ approach of reading them from /proc or a device node.
+ However, this method requires the file to be available.
