yousra added a task: T2292: Create syslog configuration for CARP.

carp-ovh logs were written both to /var/log/messages and /var/log/carp.log.
This change redirects them only to /var/log/carp.log by excluding them from /var/log/messages.

The "~" discard rule was not suitable because /etc/syslog.conf is processed before /usr/local/etc/syslog.d/carp.conf.
So logs are already written to /var/log/messages at that stage.
