Improvements and unification of logging library.
This version works on all platforms: Linux, Windows and FreeBSD.
This is update to rework patch set. It adds several new features
to the console log output.
* Putting a timestamp on console output which is useful for
analyzing performance of startup codes. Timestamp is optional
and must be enabled on command line.
* Displaying console output with colors.
It uses the standard conventions used by many other Linux commands
for colorized display. The default is to enable color if the
console output is going to a terminal. But it can be always
on or disabled by command line flag. This default was chosen
based on what dmesg(1) command does.
Color is used by many tools (vi, iproute2, git) because it is helpful;
DPDK drivers and libraries print lots of not very useful messages.
And having error messages highlighted in bold face helps.
This might also get users to pay more attention to error messages.
Many bug reports have earlier messages that are lost because
there are so many info messages.
* Add support for automatic detection of systemd journal
protocol. If running as systemd service will get enhanced
logging.
* Use of syslog is optional and the meaning of the
--syslog flag has changed. The default is *not* to use
syslog if output is going to a terminal.
Add myself as maintainer for log because by now have added
more than previous authors.
