Enhancement to allow adding custom dialer

[ericejohnson]

My solution needs to be FIPS-140-2 compliant, which is partly done by using a Go wrap of openssl for all cryptography instead of the standard net/crypto packages.
If a method were exposed that allowed me to add an entry to the dialers map in dialer.go, then I could register a method to call the dialer of my choice.
I've done this on a local copy of srslog. Is the any interest in adding this to the public branch?

I'm curious to see it. Being able to set a custom dialer would certainly make this more flexible. I just don't want it to break backwards-compatibility or add any risk. 😄 So let's see that thing!
