Align with the RHEL7 defaults.

The ".so" is not required for default modules to load.

Has this always been the case? That portion supports rsyslog > v2

@anders-larsson What's your oldest version of rsyslog? We should document that in the README under compatibility. It would also help here to understand how far back we need to support as the configuration changes between versions.

@ghoneycutt It works correctly without the 'so' extension on the earliest version we're managing at our location. I'll have to ask the other locations if they're using earlier versions than us though just in case.

Removing the 'so' extension made rsyslog print the following lines to logs. I'm not sure if it's relevant though. It did not show up after returning to the previous configuration and restarting the service.

@ghoneycutt our old SLES 10 system with the old rsyslog have been decommissioned :)

Thank you!
