IPv6 support
This patch, apparently, came from the freebsd syslogd. The patch was subsequently lost although the old Fedora RPM can still be found. I took that patch, the current freebsd sources and a dash of salt to produce a new patch which I have attached. The patch does two things: it will arrange for syslogd to listen on an IPv6 socket in addition to the IPv4 socket and it uses getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() rather than gethostby[name|addr] and getservbyname. It would be possible to use a single socket that accepts both IPv6 and IPv4 datagrams, but this would mean that numeric IPv4 addresses would be prefixed with ::ffff and this could cause some confusion -- and I'm also not sure that everything that sysklogd runs on has a dual stack like that. I've also introduced the -4, -6 and -A with the same meanings that the freebsd and rsyslog variants do.
