[rsyslog] case sensitivity in templates

[Joe Williams]

BTW, if anyone else has this problem or something similar the doc is at:

http://www.rsyslog.com/module-Static_Docs-view-f-property_replacer.html.phtml

The fix was changing the template to be:

$template
PerHostDebug,"/srv/rsyslog/%$YEAR%/%$MONTH%/%$DAY%/%HOSTNAME:::lowercase%/debug"

Thanks again.
