because we're very inconsistent in the tree about whether we use
__progname or the explicit name, with the explicit name seeming to
have more use.

also, there has been various discussions about using a more portable
solution that __progname (since code that uses it isn't that portable
outside of NetBSD and its __progname support in lib/csu (?))

i've been doing an audit of the various uses of bits of syslog, and
inconsistencies like these have popped up so i've been fixing them.
