in order to instruct a host to easily log syslog information to another system, we need to add a cloud-config format for this.

The format to use looks like this:
## syslog module allows you to configure the systems syslog.
##
## a.) "remotes"
## remotes is a dictionary. items are of 'name: remote_info'
## name is simply a name (example 'maas'). It has no importance other than
## for cloud-init merging configs
##
## remote_info is of the format
## * optional filter for log messages
## default if not present: *.*
## * optional leading '@' or '@@' (indicates udp or tcp).
## default if not present (udp): @
## This is rsyslog format for that. if not present, is '@' which is udp
## * ipv4 or ipv6 or hostname
## ipv6 addresses must be encoded in [::1] format. example: @[fd00::1]:514
## * optional port
## port defaults to 514
##
## Example:
syslog:
 remotes:
  # udp to host 'maas.mydomain' port 514
  maashost: maas.mydomain
  # udp to ipv4 host on port 514
  maas: "@[10.5.1.56]:514"
  # tcp to host ipv6 host on port 555
  maasipv6: "*.* @@[FE80::0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329]:555"
