[PATCH v2 2/3] syslogd: Unify messages with client timestamps when both PRECISE and UTC are enabled.

[Grant Erickson]

This unifies the handling of messages with a client-generated
timestamps when both ENABLE_FEATURE_SYSLOGD_PRECISE_TIMESTAMPS and
ENABLE_FEATURE_SYSLOGD_UTC are asserted.

In particular, to support the intermix of client-generated and
server-generated timestamps, the former are zero-padded such that the
timestamp "column" of a log file is consistent in format.
