added new property replacer option "date-rfc3164-buggyday"
primarily to ease migration from syslog-ng. See property replacer doc for details. [backport from 5.5.3 because urgently needed by some]

+<td>similar to date-rfc3164, but emulates a common coding error: RFC 3164 demands
+that a space is written for single-digit days. With this option, a zero is
+written instead. This format seems to be used by syslog-ng and the
+date-rfc3164-buggyday option can be used in migration scenarios where otherwise
+lots of scripts would need to be adjusted. It is recommended <i>not</i> to use this
+option when forwarding to remote hosts - they may treat the date as invalid
+(especially when parsing strictly according to RFC 3164).</td>
