Make syslog::modload deal with RainerScript.
Newer versions of rsyslog, a "scripting language" for configuring rsyslog, named RainerScript, has been introduced, with version 6 the first version with full support. RainerScript has a new way of loading (and configuring) modules: ``module(load="NAME" ...)'' replaces the old $ModLoad directive. The old syntax still works, and you can mix them (and there are some features as of yet only available using the old-style ``$'' directives). We want to be able to use the new-style declarations, so we need to adapt the syslog::modload definition to at least cope with the new syntax in existing files and not add $ModLoad directives if there is already a module() directive for the same module. And also be able to delete module() directives for ensure=>absent. For the time being, we only change syslog::modload to recognize the new syntax when it exists in the file, and if we need to add a loading directive, the old syntax will be used, to support older versions of rsyslog. Our implementation is also quite limited in how module() directives may be formatted to be handled properly. In particular, the entire directive must be contained on a single line to be removed correctly; if not, the resulting file will have broken syntax. module() direc- tives must also start at the first column to be recognized.
