This decision was made for three reasons:
1) syslog allows to redirect logs to a remote host. This should also apply when
HIPL is started in foreground.
2) syslog outputs messages asynchronously. So once HIPL has triggered output,
it doesn't need to wait until it's displayed or written to file.
3) (minor) Further unification of foreground and background behaviour.
