[syslog-ng] pdbtool 'patternize'

Hi,

it seems that the version number is hardwired into the code of patternize, and 
hasn't been updated.

Changing the version number is trivial, but I don't know if anything else should 
be updated.

I'm running the latest version of syslog-ng (3.5.4.1) so I was expecting that this would produce a version '4' pattern db. Easy enough to change in the generated XML, just wondering why the latest generator wouldn't create the latest version.

I've seen some output that appears to suggest there's some nominal decoding of the input log messages.
