In the ring configuration example we refer to RFC3164 - the original BSD
syslog protocol without support for structured data (SDATA).

Let's refer to RFC5424 instead so SDATA is by default forwarded if
someone copy & pastes from the documentation:

https://discourse.haproxy.org/t/structured-data-lost-when-forwarding-logs-voa-syslog-forwarding-feature/11741/5

Should be backported to 2.6.
