Public bug reported:

in order to instruct a host to easily log syslog information to another
system, we need to add a cloud-config format for this.

The format to use looks like this:
## syslog module allows you to configure the systems syslog.
## configuration of syslog is under the top level cloud-config 
## entry 'syslog'.
##
## "remotes"
##  remotes is a dictionary. items are of 'name: remote_info'
##  name is simply a name (example 'maas').  It has no importance other than
##  for cloud-init merging configs
##
##  remote_info is of the format
##    * optional filter for log messages
##      default if not present: *.*
##    * optional leading '@' or '@@'  (indicates udp or tcp).
##      default if not present (udp): @
##      This is rsyslog format for that.  if not present, is '@' which is udp
##    * ipv4 or ipv6 or hostname
##      ipv6 addresses must be encoded in [::1] format. example: @[fd00::1]:514
##    * optional port
##      port defaults to 514
##
## Example:
#cloud-config
syslog:
 remotes:
  # udp to host 'maas.mydomain' port 514
  maashost: maas.mydomain
  # udp to ipv4 host on port 514
  maas: "@[10.5.1.56]:514"
  # tcp to host ipv6 host on port 555
  maasipv6: "*.* @@[FE80::0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329]:555"
