[syslog-ng] value-pairs and empty keys

[Scheidler, Balázs]

yup, earlier it was impossible to represent empty values, now the "unset()"
rewrite op can be used to delete name-value pairs, which will not be added
to the json output. perhaps an option to get the old behavior back would be
possible. (e.g. $(format-json --skip-empty) or something like that.
