Build rsyslog

• Configure wolfSSL with ./configure --enable-rsyslog. Add --enable-debug if you're going to be debugging. Add --enable-fips=v2 if using wolfSSL FIPS.
• make and sudo make install wolfSSL into /usr/local.
• Download rsyslog-8.2106.0 with curl -O https://www.rsyslog.com/download/files/download/rsyslog/rsyslog-8.2106.0.tar.gz.
• Unarchive this tar ball with tar xvf rsyslog-8.2106.0.tar.gz and cd rsyslog-8.2106.0.
• Apply the rsyslog-8.2106.0.patch file with patch -p1 < rsyslog-8.2106.0.patch (assuming the patch file is in the rsyslog-8.2106.0 directory; adjust the path according to your situation).
• Regenerate the configure script with autoreconf -ivf. The warnings can be ignored.
• Configure rsyslog with ./configure --enable-omstdout --enable-imdiag --enable-testbench --without-valgrind-testbench --enable-helgrind=no --with-wolfssl=/usr/local. Update the path to the wolfSSL installation if you've installed wolfSSL using a prefix other than /usr/local. Add --enable-debug if debugging.
• Run make to compile.
• Ensure all tests pass with make check.
