Description:
The "mysql" client has a "--syslog" option. I would like to be able to migrate to MySQL Shell without losing this functionality.

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-logging.html

How to repeat:
Try to migrate from "mysql" to "mysqlsh" while using the syslog feature on the former.

Suggested fix:
Add syslog support

Added to MySQL Shell 8.0.24 with WL #14358. Changelog entry for WL:

From MySQL 8.0.24, SQL statements that you issue in MySQL Shell’s SQL mode can be sent to the operating system’s system logging facility (syslog on Unix, or the Windows Event Log). You can select this option by specifying the --syslog command-line option when starting MySQL Shell, or by setting the history.sql.syslog MySQL Shell configuration option. SQL statements that would be excluded from the MySQL Shell code history are also excluded from the system logging facility.
