[PATCH] git-daemon --syslog to log through syslog

Well, this makes it even more clear that we need the packet reader and
friends to use the daemon logging code. :/  Therefore, we at least indicate
in the "Disconnect" log message if the child process exitted with an error
code or not.

Idea by Linus.
