Title:
  need support for configuring syslog

Status in cloud-init:
  New

Bug description:
  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"
