Use an abstract method to create the SyslogOutputStream that subclasses can override

LOGBACK-960 Prevent a possible NPE in SyslogAppenderBase.close()

LOGBACK-960 Prevent a possible NPE in SyslogAppenderBase.close() when the SyslogOutputStream is null (due to a host lookup failure for example)

Added note for LOGBACK-959

Added note for LOGBACK-936, fixed by Eric Dahl in pull request #173
