[rsyslog] rsyslog 3.18.0 (v3-stable) released

[Rainer Gerhards]

...and now this issue is fixed. The new tarball is online. If in doubt
which one you loaded, please check the md5sum.

The issue was that some documentation files were not properly included
inside the tarball. The automatic checks did not detect that. The
problem seems to have lurked for quite a while. Many thanks to Michael
Biebl for pointing out the issue.
