[syslog-ng]chain_hostname(yes) complicates use of $HOST

Thanks for your review! I think syslog-ng is a great product and have no 
need for modification beyond fixing (from my perspective) the way host 
names are parsed. I would like to clarify that more importantly to me than 
changing the message that is logged, my alteration changes the value 
syslog-ng uses when creating a log file (effects the value of $HOST).
