Make lshell/checkconfig.py send syslog data to /var/run/log instead of
non-existent /dev/log

Summary:
shells/lshell doesn't log anything to syslog


Tested versions:
- 0.9.15.1
- 0.9.16


Synopsis:
lshell can log either to a file or to syslog depending on its configuration
file.

Sadly, lshell tries to log through /dev/log which hasn't existed on FreeBSD for
a long while.

Creating a symbolic link /dev/log -> /var/run/log didn't seem to fix the
problem.


How to reproduce:
Install vanilla shells/lshell
Instruct it to log to syslog in /usr/local/etc/lshell.conf
'[global]'
'logfilename    : syslog'
Rehash terminal, invoke lshell
Type commands, nope, syslog gets nothing


How to fix:
0.9.15.1 : Edit line 929 of lshellmodule/lshell.py to correctly point to
/var/run/log
0.9.16 : Edit line 310 of lshell/checkconfig.py to correctly point to
/var/run/log
Recompile, reinstall


Patch against 0.9.16 attached
