📄 Description

Since there is currently no syslog support in Monolog (and it even was on your todo list :-) ) here is a new SyslogHandler class.

A basic usage example:

   $log = new Logger('application');
   $syslog = new SyslogHandler('myfacility', 'local6');
   $formatter = new LineFormatter("%channel%.%level_name%: %message% %extra%");
   $syslog->setFormatter($formatter);
   $log->pushHandler($syslog);

The special formatter is needed since the timestamp is included automatically in all syslog messages.
The facility can be given using PHP constants (LOG_LOCAL5) or by string ('local5') to simplify setting the values from a configuration file.

I couldn't think of any unit test approaches for actually writing the message since mocking the syslog() function isn't possible and all tests using the real syslog() function would depend on a special syslogd configuration. So currently the unit tests only cover the constructor.
