vlib: add nosyslog unix option
The "nosyslog" option disables syslog just like the "interactive" mode
but can be used together with "nodaemon".
This is useful for when VPP is running under a process supervisor like
runit or daemontools that pipe the stdout/stderr to a dedicated logger
service.

+Disable syslog and log errors to stderr instead. Typical when invoking
+VPP applications from a process monitor like runit or daemontools that
+pipe service's output to a dedicated log service, which will typically
+attach a timestamp and rotate the logs as necessary.
