[syslog-ng] syslog-ng 3.10 fedora/rhel/centos packages

[Czanik, Péter]

Just tested, 3.10.1 does not compile on RHEL 6 (well, in practice the
latest CentOS 6.X). It fails with:

  CCLD     modules/dbparser/pdbtool/pdbtool
./lib/.libs/libsyslog-ng.so: undefined reference to `g_atomic_pointer_add'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [modules/dbparser/pdbtool/pdbtool] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

So, currently 3.9 is the latest syslog-ng compiling on old distros.

Making sure, that syslog-ng compiles on old distros is on the roadmap of
the team. Compiling on FreeBSD was fixed right after the 3.10 release, I
hope RHEL 6 / SLES 11 will also compile again soon.
