- Upgrade to rsyslog 8.2106.0:
  * NOTE: the prime new feature is support for TLS and non-TLS connections
    via imtcp in parallel. Furthermore, most TLS parameters can now be overriden
    at the input() level. The notable exceptions are certificate files, something
    that is due to be implemented as next step.
  * 2021-06-14: new global option "parser.supportCompressionExtension"
    This permits to turn off rsyslog's single-message compression extension
    when it interferes with non-syslog message processing (the parser
    subsystem expects syslog messages, not generic text)
    closes https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/4598
  * 2021-05-12: imtcp: add more override config params to input()
    It is now possible to override all module parameters at the input() level. Module
    parameters serve as defaults. Existing configs need no modification.
  * 2021-05-06: imtcp: add stream driver parameter to input() configuration
    This permits to have different inputs use different stream drivers
    and stream driver parameters.
    closes https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/3727
  * 2021-04-29: imtcp: permit to run multiple inputs in parallel
    Previously, a single server was used to run all imtcp inputs. This
    had a couple of drawsbacks. First and foremost, we could not use
    different stream drivers in the varios inputs. This patch now
    provides a baseline to do that, but does still not implement the
    capability (in this sense it is a staging patch).
    Secondly, we now ensure that each input has at least one exclusive
    thread for processing, untangling the performance of multiple
    inputs from each other.

  * 2021-04-27: tcpsrv bugfix: potential sluggishnes and hang on shutdown
    tcpsrv is used by multiple other modules (imtcp, imdiag, imgssapi, and,
    in theory, also others - even ones we do not know about). However, the
    internal synchornization did not properly take multiple tcpsrv users
    in consideration.
    As such, a single user could hang under some circumstances. This was
    caused by improperly awaking all users from a pthread condition wait.
    That in turn could lead to some sluggish behaviour and, in rare cases,
    a hang at shutdown.
    Note: it was highly unlikely to experience real problems with the
    officially provided modules.
  * 2021-04-22: refactoring of syslog/tcp driver parameter passing
    This has now been generalized to a parameter block, which makes it much cleaner and
    also easier to add new parameters in the future.
  * 2021-04-22: config script: add re_match_i() and re_extract_i() functions
    This provides case-insensitive regex functionality.
