Make the default syslog.conf not make the console and root logins

unusable when problems occur. Provide commented out examples showing
people how to direct output to /dev/console or as messages to root,
for situations where such output might acutally be useful, rather than
something that keeps you from fixing a problem due to the screen
getting spewed at.
