Allow syslogd to forward to unix domain sockets

The change would allow "chaining" multiple syslogd-like processes. It'd also
allow for efficient log-monitoring by services like sshguard, which would be
able to act on messages quicker, without them hitting the filesystem first.

The cases of listener not running at syslogd's startup, or disappearing part
way through are handled properly, and forwarding is reestablished as soon as
the listener reappears.

The attached patch applies to both main and stable/15 at the time of this
typing.
