Nova (juno) ignores logging_*_format_string in syslog output

[George Shuklin]

Nova in juno ignores following settings in configuration file ([DEFAULT] section):
logging_context_format_string
logging_default_format_string
logging_debug_format_suffix
logging_exception_prefix

when sending logs via syslog. Log entries on stderr / in log files are fine (use logging_*_format).

Steps to reproduce:

1. set up custom logging stings and enable syslog:

[DEFAULT]
logging_default_format_string=MYSTYLE-DEFAULT-%(message)s
logging_context_format_string=MYSTYLE-CONTEXT-%(message)s
use_syslog=true

2. restart nova and perform some actions

3. Check the syslog content

Expected behaviour: MYSTYLE- prefix in all messages.
Actual behaviour: no changes in log message styles.

This bug is specific to Juno version of nova.

@George Shuklin:
The Juno release has its EOL in December 2015 [1]. This means the
upstream development doesn't provide any fixes for that anymore.
