Joachim Wiberg d7576c7fc0 syslogd.service: use journald socket, not /dev/log
This patch fixes integration with systemd-journald, and also sets the
now mandatory KillMode.

When running on systems with systemd-journald certain considerations
must be taken.  These are listed here:

  https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/syslog/

In it simplest form, the system as a whole logs through journald and
a BSD syslog daemon then gets its log messages from journald.

NOTE: due to issues with the Debian packaging of rsyslog, the sysklogd
      packages cannot be used to replace rsyslog.  First rsyslog must
      be purged to clear the syslog.socket symlink, then sysklogd can
      be installed.

sysklogd (2.2.3) stable; urgency=medium
* Fix problem with log messages stuck in 1969. When not using libsyslog,
or the bundled logger, the syslog() API in the C library is used, which
may not necessarily set the timestamp. When sysklogd infers timestamp
it was offset by the number of years since 1969, i.e., boot_time.
* Fix problem with repeating kernel messages if syslogd is restarted.
This introduces a new state file, /var/run/syslogd.cache, which saves
the last seen/logged sequence id read from `/dev/kmsg`
* Fix log message time calculation issue on 32-bit systems.
* Fix remote kernel messages being mapped to uucp instead of user
* Fix man page syslogd(8), name of PID file (syslog.pid -> syslogd.pid)

sysklogd (2.2.2) stable; urgency=low
* Initial release.

* Fix spelling issues in syslogd and man pages, found by lintian
* Load and reload timezone, with tzset(), on init/SIGHUP.
