[BusyBox] Remote Syslog Patch

[Joshua Jackson]

I am not sure if anyone else is interested in this functionality change, but I 
have been making this very modification to busybox for quite some time and 
over several versions.

When logging to a remote host, the syslog daemon should not die in the event 
that the remote logging host is unavailable... it is (after all) UDP and 
transmission is not guaranteed.  This patch will simply ignore a failure to 
send a packet when the remote host is not available to receive the packet. 
This is also the behaviour that most embedded devices show (a PIX won't quit 
logging all together if the specified logging server goes offline).
