[syslog-ng] placing dollar sign into patterdb tag values

[Tusa Viktor]

Hi Evan!

You can use the double dollar sign ($$) to escape dollar sign in templates
(and thus in patternd actions or values). It has been changed in patch
https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng/commit/edf0292c385e98b9cddc1879974e30939e0d95dd
, so from 3.5, you should use this escaping form.

BR,
Viktor
