Busybox 1.19 in syslog mode chokes on our syslog.conf and doesn't start.

This patch renames the syslog.conf we ship to syslog-startup.conf in

to prevent busybox trying to parse the file as an rsyslog style
syslog.conf

Do we need to also add an updated skeleton syslog.conf that the busybox
syslog can parse?

We certainly could do that, but there's no need to. The syslog.conf is optional and the options we set at init continue to work as they have.

In fact, as far as I could tell from a quick search this morning, there's no way to tell syslogd log to a buffer, as we currently do by default, with syslog.conf.

Cheers,
Joshua
