[Buildroot] [PATCH 4/8] rsyslog: add logging configuration file

[Carlos Santos]

Provide a template to help users to customize rsyslog without editting
the startup script. Also warn about options that must not be used.

Add instructions on how to configure debugging, since it a bit tricky
when rsyslogd runs in background, requiring a separete log file.

This file is also useful as an example for init script authors.
