feature req: syslog handler

[nergdron]

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!

#84

[nergdron]

working on using logfmt for output formatting, but ran into an upstream issue which I'll need to resolve (go-logfmt/logfmt#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.
