Subject: 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.
