Depends on #188

[ ] Parameter --syslog -> enables directly logging to syslog server and optionally argument the targeted syslog server (instead of default syslog socket)
[ ] Enable as optional feature

There is the syslog2 python package that provides a SyslogLogHandler.

This takes several arguments, which are interesting.

address should be parsed from the argument provided by the user to --syslog
- Nothing -> address == "local"
- A string in the hostname:port format -> address == value.split(":")
- A string representing a path -> address == value
- Anything else: error
facility should probably be set "daemon" or "user"
program should be the MetricQ token, this might turn out as impossible
