ctdb-config: enable syslog by default

CTDB uses /var/log/ctdb/ directory for the default log files. With
syslog disabled, systemd journal is not able to correctly inform
errors happening during service initialization.

Upstream community creates generic config files to be used by different
distributions, so this change makes no big difference to be accepted by
upstream.

With this patch the end user will be able to identify initialization
errors by executing:

  systemctl status ctdb.service

or to follow ctdb logs by executing:

  journalctl -f -u ctdb
