Description
Current the Syslog source uses the "peer_addr" and "peer_path" keys. "peer_addr" should be updated to use event::HOST and I assume we'd want to do the same with "peer_path"?

Research direction
Start by locating the Syslog source and the code that defines its current "peer_addr" and "peer_path" context keys. Check how event::HOST is used elsewhere, then determine whether both keys should change; done means the Syslog context uses the intended keys consistently and its existing checks still pass.
