[syslog-ng] Systemd support

[Gergely Nagy]

Tom's message probably didn't make it to the list, due to the size of
the attachments. But since I suppose more people are interested in
systemd support, I'm CCing the list anyway.

The patches you attached are not enough for proper systemd integration:
if you have any unix-dgram() sockets that are not managed by systemd,
syslog-ng will break. So will syslog-ng-ctl in certain cases.

My tree has a fix for those issues, and to the best of my knowledge,
works both on systemd-enabled systems, and non-systemd systems aswell.

It's available (for 3.2) at
  git://git.madhouse-project.org/syslog-ng/syslog-ng-3.2.git

On the 'systemd' branch.

I'll prepare integration branches for pulling this all into the official
tree during the next few days (both for 3.2 and 3.3).

There's an extra few patches in my tree, on top of Marius Tomaschewski's
systemd integration work, that wrap up the systemd support. More testing
with those is always welcomed!

(Especially since the testing I was able to conduct myself were pretty
basic so far)
