[Issue 9726] Admin guide and man pages need better documentation on disabling syslog

OpenLDAP's C code has two different types of logging:
1. "DEBUG" messages, which confusingly, are what loglevel controls:
```
# loglevel of ACL:
aci.c: Debug( LDAP_DEBUG_ACL, "aciNormalizeRight: perms:attr need to
be pairs in '%s'\n", action->bv_val );
# loglevel of STATS:
delete.c: Debug( LDAP_DEBUG_STATS, "%s DEL dn="%s"\n",
# etc
```
2. The actual debug messages, that only (normally) go to stderr:
like
```
slapmodify.c: fprintf( stderr, "%s: could not %s
entry dn="%s" "
or (avoiding commandline tools)
syncrepl.c: fprintf(stderr, "merge_state: %s si_syncCookie [%d] %d
%s\n",
syncrepl.c: fprintf(stderr, "merge_state: %s si_cookieState [%d] %d
%s\n",
```
When the man page says "debug messages", it's talking about the messages
printed to stderr.
