Patch for session.c to log logouts in syslog. none

I was bothered that the authlog function only tells you when a user loggs in but
never when the user loggs out.. atleast I couldn't find any code for it so I
added a few lines and got what I wanted.

The OS last/lastlog does this already, why do you want to duplicate it?

Lastlog do not write to syslog. Atleast here in sweden it's fairly common that 
companies do use syslog servers to get all data to a central location and 
therefor they want this kind of information. Basically they don't want to login 
to each server and check.
