P.S. Found them! There's an Email on this ML with the subject "RELP tests
for the testbench" :D

There are some tests for RELP, mmjsonparse and omelasticsearch on the Sematext
rsyslog fork <https://github.com/sematext/rsyslog/commits/master>. The
omelasticsearch ones can be found here:
https://github.com/sematext/rsyslog/commit/5213a7d1791549151698c66cddaf1e1ec6ed665b
