Subject: [PATCH] add SOCK_STREAM support for syslog

To be consistent with glibc and uClibc since both glibc and uClibc
have a support for connecting to SOCK_STREAM socket in case
when connection to a SOCK_DGRAM is unsuccessful. This patch mimics the
same behavior.

There was a discussion whether the musl should support the SOCK_STREAM
on musl mailing list http://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2015/08/10/1.
