I noticed boot-time /tmp pruning could take a substantial amount of time.
The purpose is two-fold, to remove cruft, and stop newly authenticated users
from seeing it. Took about 20 drafts to get it right. The /tmp files
are now pushed into a mktemp directory, then deleted async, except a few are
removed immediately for the case of the filesystem being full. After daemon
startup has completed, we wait for the removal job to complete (let's keep an
eye on this, because it is possible we actually don't need to wait)

Fix a weird seventeen-year-old documentation bug where the descriptions
of the \*(lp and \*(rp predefined strings were exchanged.
Nobody noticed because all predefined strings are obsolete anyway.
Patch from Alexander Ziaee <ziaee at FreeBSD.org>.
avoid needlessly discarding a const qualifier in a pointer assignment;
no functional change; small ugliness found in a build log

If writing a file fails, propagate the error to the server via a new
message. Use a client flag rather than bumping the protocol version.
