There are times when we want ffmpeg to log, but we don't want it to
overwrite the log file. In addition to the use case described in the
ticket, a third party tool that invokes ffmpeg may write additional
information to the log file, such as why the encoding options were
chosen.

This implements:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/3059

Note: unknown keys are ignored, so adding a new "append" key does not
break backward compatibility.
