[rsyslog] Allow files to be created without CreateDirs

[William Tisäter]

Hi,

I don't know if this is an intended feature or not, but when  
CreateDirs is set to off, rsyslog can no longer create files (time  
stamp file names). Lets say you have a template for writing files: / 
log/<tag>/<date>.log, this will let anybody to create directories in / 
log when CreateDirs is on. This may cause a lot of directories and can  
be abused by regular users.

I've patched 2.0.2 to separate file and directory creation here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=327100

And steps to reproduce this can be found here:

Comments anyone?
