Fix /var/log/messages and /var/run/dmesg.boot permissions

If a regular user that does not belong to to the wheel group issues:

    % dmesg -a
    dmesg: sysctl kern.msgbuf: Operation not permitted

However, a user may circumvent this restriction by either:

    % cat /var/log/messages

Or

    % cat /var/run/dmesg.boot

Set the proper permissions to both files.  Fix relevant manual pages.

Given that this has been the normal behavior since the beginning, maybe the=
 fix
should be the other way around?
