Revert "services: syslog: Simplify 'start' method."
This reverts commit 4c0cc7bed3de2c0e2d3a6e95b88693941e839eec. Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/41116>. Reported by Alex Sassmannshausen <alex@komputilo.eu>. The problem is that reconfiguring on a system running Shepherd < 0.8.0 would lead to an error, due to #:file-creation-mask not being supported. The error is rather harmless: it prevents service upgrade but the system itself is upgraded. We can reinstate that commit eventually, once #:file-creation-mask has become widespread.
