Fix syslog bug: if any messages are emitted to write_syslog before
the facility has been set, the facility gets set to LOCAL0 and cannot be changed later. This seems reasonably plausible to happen, particularly at higher debug log levels, though I am not certain it explains Han Holl's recent report. Easiest fix is to teach the code how to change the value on-the-fly, which is nicer anyway. I made the settings PGC_SIGHUP to conform with log_destination.
