feature req: syslog handler #81

Open nergdron opened 4 years ago

lots of systems still rely heavily on syslog, it'd be really good for there to be a syslog aware handler. some features I'd like to see in a hypothetical handler:

automatically sends the correct log level
lets you specify the syslog facility and app name
defaults to a local socket connection, with a fallback to 127.0.0.1, but allows specifying a remote server
understands not to break log output across multiple lines, defaults to escaping newline characters in output

sounds fine to me!

working on using logfmt for output formatting, but ran into an upstream issue which I'll need to resolve (https://github.com/go-logfmt/logfmt/issues/9).

What's the hold up on this PR? Coming to apex from logrus since it's dead but needing good syslog support.

@utdrmac just waiting on a review and merge from @tj, just figured their life got busy because of The World. feel free to use my branch in the mean time I suppose.
