[syslog-ng] Continue on with filter errors

[Balazs Scheidler]

Hmm, this is not really easy. Actually syslog-ng uses has own language,
complete with a validating parser and lexer.

Handling syntax errors there is possible, but cumbersome, not to mention
the ambiguity that easily happens. Think of web browsers of old times that
happily processed documents that resembled HTML and the resulting pain that
occurred because of the variations in browsers.
