[issue14416] syslog missing constants

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Close.  We either need to mention that LOG_AUTHPRIV is only defined if the platform defines it, or we need to change the implementation so that it is always defined (by mapping it to some other facility if it doesn't exist).  I'm of mixed mind about it: the former makes some sense to me, but the module precedent is clearly intentionally the latter.

In the absence of a good reason to do otherwise, I think we should follow the module precedent.

Anyone else have an opinion?
