Do not send debug messages to syslog by default6.8.1
This partially reverts 56691b1 (Allow specifying -d multiple times, 2020-05-11). In that commit, a check for the debug variable in syslog_debug was removed because a debug level of > 0 would have slowcgi log to the console instead of syslog, making the check pointless. However, this also means that slowcgi will now print debug messages by default, even if run without the '-d' flag. The commit messages states that the syslog daemon should handle debug output instead. We feel that this is unsound reasoning, and that it goes against a de-facto standard seen in the wild so far: only issue debug output (whether to console or not), if specifically asked for. Therefore, reintroduce the check for the debug variable. Whilst this will in fact make the whole syslog_debug method pointless, we do not want to commit to a complete rewrite of the debug functionality at this time (even if such an undertaking is, in our opinion, warranted).
