OpenStack rsyslog client

Ansible role to deploy rsyslog for client use. This role will ship any and all logs discovered in the rsyslog_client_log_dir directory to any valid rsyslog target. The role was designed to be used by OpenStack-Ansible by leveraging multiple logging hosts via the rsyslog_all group. If that inventory group is not defined additional log shipping targets can be defined using rsyslog_client_user_defined_targets
