Subject: [PATCH] logger.c: use '-u /dev/log -d' by default.

This works around a bug in uClibc where openlog() opens /dev/log using
a nonblocking socket, and thus can silently throw away log messages if the
buffer overfills.  glibc's openlog/syslog use blocking sockets as they
should, and that's what programs expect.

Anyway, logger.c has a mode where it just connects to the syslog socket by
itself if you provide -u.  So let's just pretend the user *always* provides
-u by default.  (Providing it explicitly will still override its value.)
