[rsyslog] [PATCH] TLS connection check + syslog TAG parsing

[Rainer Gerhards]

I have now implemented the complete patch. For v5, I needed to rewrite
it, but that wasn't much of an issue once I knew what was required ;) v5
now even has an automatted test for this functionality.

Thanks again,
Rainer
