Title: authentication: allow REST API access when gui access is restricted
Component: REST API
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 2.3.0b1
This werk addresses an issue with regards to REST API access. When the
distributed monitoring config option
"Users are allowed to directly login into the Web GUI"
was disabled, we inadvertently blocked access to the REST API as well.

Title: Improved handling of forwarded syslog messages in the event console
Component: Event Console
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 2.1.0p34
The event console already handled various non-RFC compliant syslog messages
in addition to the official RFC 3164/5424 ones, but somehow accepting e.g.
forwarded syslog messages from zypper on SLES15 requires yet another variant.
Fun fact: In addition to the 2 official correct formats, we accept 11
non-compliant formats now.
