syslog support

I'm enclosing a patch for better syslog support in squid. The patch is
for a squid-2.4.STABLE7 release. If needed, I can eventually produce the
patch for more recent releases.

The patch consists in support for an optional parameter to the '-s'
option. If you don't specify any value for the 's' option, the behaviour
is the same it was before. Setting "-s2", all other logs are sent to
syslog, as LOG_INFO, while debug logs continue to be sent as LOG_WARNING
or LOG_NOTICE. To let programs to recollect useful data (eg. for access
statistics), a string identifying the log-type is prepended to the usual
squid output (access, store or logs)

Here is an example of use:

    squid -s2 -D

Sample syslog output:

Dec 10 16:49:48 impresario squid[14271]: idnsSendQuery: FD 5: sendto:

Hope it helps,
