Brad Fitzpatrick 0433cc6929 feature/syslog, cmd/tailscaled, logpolicy: add optional --syslog flag
Add a new modular syslog feature providing a tailscaled --syslog flag
that sends the daemon's logs to the system syslog daemon instead of
stderr, which is useful when running as a daemon without a service
manager that captures stderr (e.g. OpenWrt's procd).

The feature package registers two new hooks: one to register its flag
before flag parsing, and one that tailscaled calls early in main to
redirect the standard library's default logger. Because logpolicy later
points the default logger at logtail, whose local console copy writes
to stderr, logpolicy now also consults the hook and sends its console
copy to the same sink (with timestamps disabled, as syslog records its
own).

The feature is linked by default only on Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD,
and can be removed with the ts_omit_syslog build tag. If connecting to
the syslog daemon fails at startup, tailscaled logs a warning and
continues logging to stderr.

Fixes #16270
