Add node syslog exporter

Adds a rule for exporting syslog information to a specified server. The
required parameters are the rule name (exporter_name); severity level
(emerg, alert, crit, and so on); transmission protocol (TCP or UDP); and
server IP address or hostname. The optional parameters are the syslog port
number, which can be 1 through 65,535 (514, by default); facility level to
use when logging messages to syslog (kern, user, mail, and so on); and
message IDs (msgids), which identify the types of messages to export.
