Provide a way to override program names per file

[eric]

If you have multiple files in different directories with the same name, there is no way to differentiate between them right now.

There should be a way to specify what program name is used for each file.

Yes! I would like to see this supported. Running into the same problem.

@TTimo Thanks! What are you using it for? The case Eric mentioned where the files are named the same, or is there another case where you want to transform the name? Intel would be very welcome.

[TTimo]

Yeah, multiple twisted demons, all logging to their own twistd.log file. I could configure the demons to use a different name, but it would make sense to do the remap with remote_syslog.

I want to have this too. It shouldn't be that difficult right?

Why not like this:

files:
 - /var/log/httpd/access_log AS my_custom_name

@ruudk have a pull request I can review? Happy to.
