New release of syslog-ng's Rust language bindings

I was developing a parser plugin for syslog-ng when I realized that I could simplify the parser interface a little bit.

The ParserBuilder trait required to implement the Clone trait as well. I removed this constraint, as it makes the trait more flexible and it was an unnecessary requirement.

I also added the declaration of the log_msg_ref() function to syslog-ng-sys 0.2.2.

syslog-ng-common 0.6.0 contains the updated ParserBuilder trait and a memory leak/crash fix. Your guess is right, the bug was in an unsafe block where I forgot to increment the reference count of a C pointer…

Till next time,
