Revision history for Perl extension Tie::Syslog.

• Got some good input from M. Darwin about how this tied FH behaved w/ GnuPG. There are a number of functions, e.g. 'fileno' that needed to be implemented for things like open3, etc. However, in this case, I really just needed to know the original FH that was tied. Unfortunately, perl does not give you access to the original tied object. So a work-around was created where you just pass a ref to a glob of your filehandle as a first arg to tie. Then all these special fns like 'fileno' can refer to the original filehandle.

• Added some notes to docs about Linux possibly prefering 'err' rather than 'error' as a syslog "priority" as Jost Krieger pointed out. The example in the perldoc uses 'error'. Didn't change code to do anything different yet.

• Seems that you cannot undef $SIG{__DIE__}, nor assign undef to it without a warning. I could not figure out how to address this short of simply suppressing warnings in a little block.
• I use $^S inside the $SIG{__DIE__} handler rather than poking back thru the stack looking for "(eval)".

• Per Dustin Harris, allow setlogsock() options to be optionally passed to the tie() instead of hardwired to 'inet'.
• Minor docs cleanup.
