Description

### Nomad version
v0.5.2

### Operating system and Environment details
Debian 8

### Issue
I would like to keep the logging driver syslog with the syslog server managed by nomad but add certain config options (tag, env, ... )

```
config {
logging {
type = "syslog"
config {
tag = "foo"
}
}
}
```
Inspecting the running docker container shows that the syslog address is gone

```
"LogConfig": {
"Type": "syslog",
"Config": {
"tag": "foo"
}
}
```

Having the default syslog with additional config is great because ```nomad logs``` would still work I guess, as well as log rotation and cleanup.

### Reproduction steps
Just add the logging snipped to a job, run it and inspect the container.

Research direction

Start with the job's logging configuration and inspect the resulting Docker container's LogConfig, focusing on how the syslog address and user-supplied options are represented. Reproduce the issue with the provided job snippet; done means the default syslog address remains available alongside options such as tag, while nomad logs, rotation, and cleanup continue to work.
