Support customizing the default time zone when parsing dates in syslog messages

Description

Currently, when the date from a syslog message is parsed by OpenNMS and this date does not include a time zone, we assume that the date is in the same timezone as the OpenNMS system is currently configured.

Such a message may look like:

<11>Mar 22 14:24:49 node1 last message repeated 25 times

It should be possible to configure this behavior and set a specific timezone to use in this case. This should work when using either the CustomSyslogParser, or the RadixTreeParser.

Reopening this one, the functionality does work with the CustomSyslogParser, but does not currently work with the RadixTreeParser.

@j-white, you are right. I changed the code accordingly. I used syslogd-configuration.xml to make the TimeZone configurable.

I found https://github.com/OpenNMS/opennms/pull/1368 which seems to explain the current behavior.

Ideally the option would be wired through syslogd-configuration.xml.
