Support DSCP Configuration Socket Option in Logstash Syslog output Plugin

There is support needed to send syslog output request with DSCP configuration in UDP socket. It will be used for classifying and managing network traffic and providing quality of service (QoS) on modern IP networks.

This is requirement to expose the socket option in syslog output plugin to configure the DSCP configuration.

IPv4: setsockopt(sock, IPPROTO_IP, IP_TOS, &opt, sizeof(opt))
IPv6: setsockopt(sock, IPPROTO_IPv6, IPV6_TCLASS, &opt, sizeof(opt))

Could you please share whether this can be supported in Logstash future release and any backlog available already.

I've checked this but unfortunately jruby is missing support to set these socket options - so jruby changes would be required first.
