Summary

In general, the "kern" facility is reserved for the kernel use only.
If a program specifies that facility, then it is silently converted
to "user" facility.
So, using logger -p kern.xxx was both misleading and non-specific.

Thus, change the facility to local7, so that users can create
more adequate syslogd configurations.
