[Bug 1524635] [NEW] haproxy syslog configuration causes double logging

Public bug reported:

The current rsyslogd configuration as provided by the rsyslogd package
causes double logging to occur.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Install haproxy via whatever normal means (apt-get etc)
2) Configure it to listen on at least one port, even just the stats port
3) Visit the URL configured

You'll see logs generated in both /var/log/syslog (via
/etc/rsyslogd.d/50-default.conf) and /var/log/haproxy.log (via
/etc/rsyslog.d/haproxy.conf).

Steps to fix:
1) mv /etc/rsyslog.d/haproxy.conf 49-haproxy.conf  # This could be any number less than 50, to have it read before the default.conf
2) Restart rsyslog.
3) Access the provided service

This will cause the entries to be written out to only
/var/log/haproxy.log.

The testing was done on a Ubuntu 14.04 server (trusty) with haproxy
1.4.24-2ubuntu0.3 installed:

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release:	14.04

$ dpkg-query -W haproxy
haproxy	1.4.24-2ubuntu0.3

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
