NGINX App Protect OTel syslog processor

[devbgv]

Proposed changes

Introduce a syslog log processor that parses RFC 3164‑formatted log lines and enriches them with structured attributes such as timestamp, hostname, app name, and severity.
Register the processor in internal/collector/factories so it can be used in the agent’s processing pipeline.
Add the github.com/leodido/go-syslog/v4 dependency and wire it into the build.
Provide unit tests that validate successful parsing and attribute extraction from sample syslog messages.

PR looks good just have a few additional comments.

1. Could we actually rename the processor to securityviolationsprocessor? syslogprocessor seems too generic since it wont be able to be used for other syslog messages that have a different message format
2. Could we add benchmark tests as well similar to these ones? https://github.com/nginx/agent/blob/main/internal/collector/logsgzipprocessor/processor_benchmark_test.go

Sorry @devbgv I think we missed some variables that need to renamed
