[syslog-ng] enforcing file permissions

[Scheidler, Balázs]

Syslog-ng sets permissions at open time, but will do so every time when it
does that. Adding this function would require firing up a timer and
changing perms every time.

But i don't see why this is not possible bits an external script.
Especially as syslog-ng has no means to go back to templated files. Eg
names that contain $HOST.
