syslogd config patch

[Sergey Naumov]

Version that supports local logging in syslog.conf is stable. I
personally received request for my patch to be merged too. Now it is
up to Denys to make a decision. I sent him my stable patch yesterday.
Remote logging support in syslog.conf requires significant changes in
syslogd applet because as for now facility/priority parsing is tightly
incorporated into local logging branch.

Latest stable version is attached (it is the same version I sent about
half a year ago). I had no issues with it except a patch for
uclibc-0.9.31 is needed to prevent changing kernel messages facility
to "user". But I do not use extension options such as circular buffer
and so on. Log rotation is supported in my patch but I do not use it
too so it was not widely tested but only during development phase.
If I receive a confirmation that the patch to be incorporated into
busybox I will perform additional testing.
