An unnecessary line break in the server.go file was removed, which was situated between connection error handling and the read loop. Such spacing did not contribute to readability or function, hence impacting the overall code cleanliness.
Added a Ruleset configuration to the logranger application, along with associated error handling. The code now loads a ruleset file from configuration, checks for duplicate rules, and logs each rule as it is found. The ruleset is also integrated within the server setup. The PIDFile now includes a default RuleFile reference in config.go.
The processing deadline handling was moved from the connection-level anonymous go-routine to the HandleConnection method. This refactor allows the reading from the connection to be looped, improving the handling of timeouts and parsing failure cases.
This update upgrades the go-parsesyslog dependency version to v0.2.2. It also enhances the server's connection handling. This is done by expanding the `HandleConnection` method to handle network errors and EOF scenarios more thoroughly, adjusting processing time measurements, and handling deadlines for connection processing. Furthermore, the initialization of the syslog parser has now been moved to the `NewServer` function for efficiency.
Introduced a new Connection struct and related functions in `connection.go` to facilitate network connections. Incorporated the `go-parsesyslog` package to parse incoming network data. Implemented functions in `server.go` to accept and handle incoming network connections, bolstering the application's network interaction functionality.
The documentation for some methods in the server-related files (config.go, server.go, and listener.go) has been updated to provide more accurate and descriptive explanations of their functionality. Additionally, the New methods for Config and Server objects have been changed to reflect that they create instances of these objects. Some method functionalities like 'setLogLevel' in server.go have been extended for more accurate operation based on the config log level.
All source code files as well as README.md, .gitignore, and various configuration files have been updated with an SPDX license identifier, changing license from CC0-1.0 to MIT.

This commit introduces the creation of the core server and its components: config loading mechanism, listener setup, and error handling. The provided configuration allows the server to run different types of listeners. Additionally, it includes robust log-level settings to facilitate debugging and operational transparency.
