I see no point in changing this separately, one would need to go through
all internal messages and recheck that their priorities are properly
set. 

There are currently about 111 messages in syslog-ng (probably a bit
less, my grep pattern was not perfect).

I did this audit and committed a change and I also changed the "Log
statistics" priority to info.

You can find the results in tomorrow's snapshot, however I'd appreciate
if you could check my judgement and see if I did something wrong.

Thanks in advance.
