Optionally re-introduce bb_info_msg()

Between Busybox 1.24.2 and 1.25.0 the bb_info_msg() function was
eliminated and calls to it changed to be bb_error_msg(). The downside of
this is that daemons now log all messages to syslog at the LOG_ERR level
which makes it hard to filter errors from informational messages.

This change optionally re-introduces bb_info_msg(), controlled by a new
option FEATURE_SYSLOG_INFO, restores all the calls to bb_info_msg() that
were removed (only in applets that set logmode to LOGMODE_SYSLOG or
LOGMODE_BOTH), and also changes informational messages in ifplugd and
ntpd.

The code size change of this is as follows (using 'defconfig' on x86_64
with gcc 7.3.0-27ubuntu1~18.04)

function                                             old     new   delta

If you don't care about everything being logged at LOG_ERR level
then when FEATURE_SYSLOG_INFO is disabled Busybox actually gets smaller:

function                                             old     new   delta
static.log7                                          194     200      +6
log8                                                 190     193      +3
log5                                                 190     193      +3
syslog_level                                           1       -      -1
bb_verror_msg                                        583     581      -2
crondlog                                              45       -     -45
