added ability to execute actions only after the n-th call of the action
This also lead to the addition of two new config directives:
$ActionExecOnlyEveryNthTime and $ActionExecOnlyEveryNthTimeTimeout
This feature is useful, for example, for alerting: it permits you to
send an alert only after at least n occurences of a specific message
have been seen by rsyslogd. This protectes against false positives
due to waiting for additional confirmation.
