Description
Would be great to include a small go based syslog server library ( https://github.com/ziutek/syslog ) and allow via options to have logspout listen on udp syslog or unix socket.
this would allow pointing syslog in a container to logspout via udp or a volume mounted syslog socket. This would help apps that only support syslog logging run better in a container.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing logspout's current log input and configuration paths, then assess the referenced ziutek/syslog library and the UDP and Unix-socket requirements; done means containerized applications can send syslog logs through either supported option.
