When scripts send several messages they will be easier to group together
when parent process id is printed rather than id of the each logger
process.

Inform about rfc5424 support, how to control what it includes to
submission, and that it is the new default when sending syslog messages
to remote server without specifying protocol.

This feature is hopefully mostly used to give MESSAGE_ID labels for
messages coming from scripts, making search of messages easy. The
logger(1) manual page update should give enough information how to use
--journald option.

This patch adds a new option to logger that will make it look for a
priority prefix <n> at the beginning of every line. The priority is
a single decimal number formed as explained in syslog(3).
If a prefix is found logger will log the message using the found
facility and level in that prefix, if the prefix doesn't contain a
facility the default facility specified by the -p option will be used.
If no prefix is found, logger will use the priority specified by -p.

This commit fixes error in usage() text, which claimed TCP is default
transport protocol. That was not true, and neither it should be. The
syslog messages has traditionally sent using UDP.
For the logger remains using UDP as first transport, but if it fails a
TCP connection is attempted. If an user wishes remote logging can be
forced to use either UDP or TCP. The service port for UDP is familiar
'syslog', for TCP the port 'syslog-conn' seems like reasonable default.

Add two spaces as the required third argument of the date line to make
the specified date get used instead of today's date. Incorporate the
section number into the page title, then use an empty section number,
so that specifying an explicit section/volume name will work.

Use dates without the day, use the full month name, put "util-linux" in
the lower left corner, and "User Commands" or "System Administration"
at the top center.
Also improve here and there the one-line program description.

It adds the ability to logger to log a message to a udp socket. The -n option
followed by the hostname of the remote host is mandatory to do this. The
optional -P option can be used to change the UDP destination port (default
514). The function udpopenlog is used to open the udp socket. After that
everything works in almost the same way like it does when logging to a UNIX
socket.
