added fromhost-ip properties and some bugfixes
- bugfix: TCP input modules did incorrectly set fromhost property
(always blank)
- bugfix: imklog did not set fromhost property
- added "fromhost-ip" property
- added "RSYSLOG_DebugFormat" canned template
- bugfix: hostname and fromhost were swapped when a persisted message
(in queued mode) was read in
