NIFI-985: Custom log prefix for LogAttribute processor
When you have a data flow with a bunch of LogAttribute processors it is
really hard to identify the right LogAttribute processor in the log file and
distinguish the output of different LogAttribute processors.
There is a new property, called log prefix, which helps the user to set a
custom log prefix for each Log Attribute processor, which will appear in the
log output of the processor. Log prefix appears in the first and the last log
line, followed by the original 50 dashes. If you configure log prefix 'STEP 1:
' the log output looks like this:
```
STEP 1 : --------------------------------------------------
Standard FlowFile Attributes
Key: 'entryDate'
Value: 'Tue Sep 22 15:13:02 CEST 2015'
Key: 'lineageStartDate'
Value: 'Tue Sep 22 15:13:02 CEST 2015'
Key: 'fileSize'
Value: '9'
FlowFile Attribute Map Content
Key: 'customAttribute'
Value: 'custom value'
STEP 1 : --------------------------------------------------
flow file content...
```
The following screen shot shows the configuration and the output of the
processor:
