[PATCH v17 13/15] log: add optional support of syslog

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

Log to syslog only if option is specified. And if syslog is used
then normally only log to syslog, don't duplicate output.
Also enables syslog support on FreeBSD.

+    Redirect all log output to syslog.
