Add a libutempter compatibility interface to libulog.
The ulog_login_pseudo(3) and ulog_logout_pseudo(3) interfaces provide a functionality identical to what libutempter has to offer. Just transform libutempter's calls into the before mentioned functions. libutempter doesn't work with utmpx, so instead of fixing I thought the easiest way would be to integrate this functionality. libutempter is used by applications like xterm and the KDE libraries, so if I ever change the underlying file format, these applications will keep working automatically. Also increase __FreeBSD_version to indicate the addition (as well as the import of libulog).

+.Nm addToUtmp ,
+.Nm removeFromUtmp ,
+.Nm removeLineFromUtmp
+.Nd utempter compatibility interface
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libulog
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In utempter.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn utempter_add_record "int fd" "const char *host"
+.Ft int
+.Fn utempter_remove_added_record "void"
+.Ft int
+.Fn utempter_remove_record "int fd"
+.Ft void
+.Fn addToUtmp "const char *pty" "const char *host" "int fd"
+.Ft void
+.Fn removeFromUtmp "void"
+.Ft void
+.Fn removeLineFromUtmp "const char *pty" "int fd"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn utempter_add_record
+and
+.Fn addToUtmp
+functions add a login record to the database for the TTY belonging to
+the pseudo-terminal master file descriptor
+.Fa fd ,
+using the username corresponding with the real user ID of the calling
+process and the optional hostname
+.Fa host .
+These functions are equivalent to
+.Xr ulog_login_pseudo 3 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn utempter_remove_record
+and
+.Fn removeLineFromUtmp
+functions mark the login session as being closed for the TTY belonging
+to the pseudo-terminal master file descriptor
+.Fa fd .
+These functions are equivalent to
+.Xr ulog_logout_pseudo 3 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn utempter_remove_added_record
+and
+.Fn removeFromUtmp
+functions have the same properties as the previously mentioned
+functions, except that they use an internally cached value of the file
+descriptor passed to the login functions.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa pty
+arguments of
+.Fn addToUtmp
+and
+.Fn removeLineFromUtmp
+are unused.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+In this implementation, the
+.Fn utempter_add_record ,
+.Fn utempter_remove_added_record
+and
+.Fn utempter_remove_record
+always return a value of 0.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr ulog_login_pseudo 3 ,
+.Xr ulog_setutxfile 3 ,
+.Xr utmp 5
+.Sh HISTORY
+These functions appeared in
+.Fx 9.0 .
