syslog-ng is built with the default buildroot flag localstatdir=/var
This causes three issues:
1) syslog-ng creates two files (syslog-ng.ctl and syslog-ng.persist in /var)
which shouldn't have random files generated in it.
2) SELinux expects it in it's default directory /var/run.
3) This breakes read only file systems because /var/ usually isn't mounted as
a seperate filing system.
Setting the buildflag to the default /var/run
fixes all three of thee of these issues.

Having the BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS dependencies in
package/Config.in is not very practical: it makes this file not very
readable, and puts the dependency away from the package itself, which
can sometimes be confusing. Therefore, this commit moves the dependency
in each package Config.in file.

When libuuid was compiled before, syslog-ng will use it as optional
dependency:
$ output/host/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-readelf -a output/target/usr/lib/libsyslog-ng-3.7.so.0.0.0 | grep NEEDED | sort
[...]
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libuuid.so.1]
The build system offers no option to en-/disable libuuid support:

Rather than pointing at a developer's github repository point at the
official Balabit one. The commit SHAs are the same so no other change is
needed.

syslog-ng is an enhanced log daemon, supporting a wide range of input
and output methods: syslog, unstructured text, queueing, SQL & NoSQL.
[Thomas:
- Rewrap Config.in.help text
- Pass --pidfile option when starting syslog-ng so that its PID file
is created in /var/run/syslog-ng.pid, which allows
start-stop-daemon to actually stop syslog-ng. Without this,
S01logging was not able to stop syslog-ng.
- Pass the executable path at stop time in S01logging, so that
start-stop-daemon can check we're not incorrectly stopping
something completely different.
- Add busybox as a dependency of syslog-ng if busybox is enabled,
since we want to override Busybox's S01logging init script.
- Simplify the python condition, since python and python3 are
mutually exclusive.
- Rewrap the comment above SYSLOG_NG_FIXUP_CONFIG.]
