[syslog-ng] Multiple log statements vs If/else

[Scheidler, Balázs]

Just think about this as a pipeline that can:

1) deliver messages
2) fork to different paths and never join again (=> channel / log statement)
3) fork to different paths and then be joined again (=> junction)
4) at every fork, the message is cloned.

```

        +-- channel1 ---- destination
       /
src---+
       \                  /----\
        +-- channel 2----+      +----   destination
                          \----/
                         junction
```
