cef parser doesn't handle backslash escaped pipes #338

Description

@davidelang

I've got a device (aruba) that sends messages that contain | characters in a message field. It escapes them with a backslash (i.e. '|text|'), the cef parser doesn't handle this.

working on the command line (echoing 'rawmsg text'), if I change them from | to \| the parser works, but the resulting field has | in it.

but trying to parse the message in rsyslog is not working as a result

@marnao you have done some work on this parser in the past.
