Will do.

Since adding syslog support is so trivial, given the existing code
is already designed around logging levels and given Go's clean support
of syslog, why not just build it in so that wireguard's logging is done
consistently with all other UNIX daemons?  Piping stdout to logger
is non-standard and also loses the ability to filter the different
log levels to different log destinations.
