[syslog-ng] RHEL 6 / CentOS 6 packages

[Czanik, Péter]

Yeah, sorry for writing "ancient", I'm a R&D type of person living on the
edge. To me even RHEL 7 is old :)

My experience was until recently that RHEL 7 is use on about 3x more
machines than RHEL 6. Then realized that my 3.7 packages for RHEL 6 has
over 250k downloads a week. My guess is that it comes from AWS, but I don't
have access to download statistics to prove my assumption.

Anyway, I hope you find my packages useful!
