rsyslog: use new syntax in conf

Updated steps for forwarding of system logs to use new rsyslog syntax. Without this, rsyslogd would report `error during parsing file /etc/rsyslog.conf` Ref: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/deployment_guide/sec-using_the_new_syntax_for_rsyslog_queues#sec-Using_the_New_Syntax_for_rsyslog_queues Signed-off-by: Navaneet Villodi <[email protected]>
