net-mgmt/prometheus2: Remove syslog config files

This patch removes the syslog and newsyslog config files for now for a few
reasons.

  - I'd originally intended them to be examples that a user could take and =
use
if they wanted to redirect Prometheus syslog entries to their own log files,
however, they were turned into @sample entries during commit.
  - Without a reload of syslogd, simply placing the config files will do
nothing and no instructions were included in pkg-message saying that the us=
er
should reload syslogd.
  - I am currently unsure if the package should be changing the users syslog
config (although, after the @sample change, they did have to request it via=
 the
SYSLOG option)
  - If they do request it, how to reload the syslog so that the config file=
 is
used right away?

Basically, I have far too many questions surrounding the feature now, so I'm
removing it entirely until I have considered it further and spoken with some
other porters on how they have handled syslog related things.

I may add them back as examples again in the future with a suitable pkg-mes=
sage
about their existance.

With this change, Prometheus will still sends its output to syslog, but wit=
hout
specific configuration the messages will be routed according to however the
user has already configured their syslogd.

This patch should also fix #232706, as there will be no syslog configs to be
copying around anymore.
