[Bug 238006] syslogd not starting because of missing /var/run/log

The patch is still needed in main - I verified that syslogd -ss will abort if
getaddrinfo() fails.

> How to find out if syslogd_flags="-ss" (instead of ="-s") would be the better default in /etc/defaults/rc.conf?

It would be a better default, most hosts are not logging messages from remote
servers.  It should be possible to automatically parse syslog.conf and look for
remote logging rules; if there are none, it is safe to set -ss.
