Fix syslog config regeneration and reset MDSDSyslogPort on removal (#2187)

* Fix syslog config regeneration and reset port on removal

- In generate_localsyslog_configs, do not return early when syslog_port
  equals MDSDSyslogPort if none of the syslog config files exist, ensuring
  configs are regenerated when missing.
- In remove_localsyslog_configs, reset MDSDSyslogPort to 0 so the next
  call to generate_localsyslog_configs will not short-circuit.

* Add unit tests for syslog config regeneration and port reset

- Test generate_localsyslog_configs does not return early when port
  matches but no config files exist (covers the regeneration fix)
- Test generate_localsyslog_configs returns early when port matches
  and config files are present
- Test remove_localsyslog_configs resets MDSDSyslogPort to 0
- Test port reset enables subsequent config regeneration
