[syslog-ng] Module development guide

[Tibor Benke]

There is also a shell script which generates a basic destination skeleton.
You can find its source on this brach:
https://github.com/juhaszviktor/syslog-ng/tree/f/plugin-creator   . Check
the dev-utils/plugin_skeleton_creator directory and this commit for the
usage:
https://github.com/juhaszviktor/syslog-ng/commit/89361d4d1817560ce8c906209355f1b737a28010
