In order to later split output parsing and output defining, introduce a new
function which will create a new virLogOutput object which the parser will
insert into a list with the list being eventually defined.

Right now virLogParse* functions are doing both parsing and defining of filters
and outputs which should be two separate operations. Since the naming is
apparently a bit poor this patch renames these functions to
virLogParseAndDefine* which eventually will be replaced by virLogSet*.
Additionally, virLogParse{Filter,Output} will be later (after the split) reused,
so that these functions do exactly what the their name suggests.

This is just a convenience method for discarding a list of filters instead of
using a 'for' loop everywhere. It is safe to pass -1 as the number of elements
in the list as well as passing NULL as list reference.

Provide a separate method to free a logging filter object. This will come handy
once a method to create an individual logging filter object is introduced.

Usage of this keyword in front of function declaration that is exported via a
header file is unnecessary, since internally, this has been the default for most
compilers for quite some time.

In order to refactor the ugly virLogParseOutputs method, this is a neat way of
finding out whether the destination type (in the form of a string) user
provided is a valid one. As a bonus, if it turns out it is valid, we get the
actual enum which will later be passed to any of virLogAddOutput methods right
away.
It is often helpful to know which version of libvirt and QEMU
was present when a guest was first launched. Ensure this info
is written into the QEMU log file for each guest.
A earlier commit changed the global log buffer so that it only
records messages that are explicitly requested via the log
filters setting. This removes the performance burden, and
improves the signal/noise ratio for messages in the global
buffer. At the same time though, it is somewhat pointless, since
all the recorded log messages are already going to be sent to an
explicit log output like syslog, stderr or the journal. The
global log buffer is thus just duplicating this data on stderr
upon crash.
The log_buffer_size config parameter is left in the augeas
lens to prevent breakage for users on upgrade. It is however
completely ignored hereafter.

Currently the log filter strings are used in a string comparison
against the source filename each time log message is emitted.
If no log filters at all are set, there's obviously no string
comparison to be done. If any single log filter is set though,
this imposes a compute burden on every logging call even if logs
from the file in question are disabled. This string comparison
must also be done while the logging mutex is held, which has
implications for concurrency when multiple threads are emitting
log messages.
This changes the log filtering to be done based on the virLogSource
object name. The virLogSource struct is extended to contain
'serial' and 'priority' fields. Any time the global log filter
rules are changed a global serial number is incremented. When a
log message is emitted, the serial in the virLogSource instance
is compared with the global serial number. If out of date, then
the 'priority' field in the virLogSource instance is updated based
on the new filter rules. The 'priority' field is checked to see
whether the log message should be sent to the log outputs.
The comparisons of the 'serial' and 'priority' fields are done
with no locks held. So in the common case each logging call has
an overhead of 2 integer comparisons, with no locks held. Only
if the decision is made to forward the message to the log output,
or if the 'serial' value is out of date do locks need to be
acquired.
Technically the comparisons of the 'serial' and 'priority' fields
should be done with locks held, or using atomic operations. Both
of these options have a notable performance impact, however, and
since all writes a protected by a global mutex, it is believed
that worst case behaviour where the fields are read concurrently
with being written would merely result in an mistaken emission
or dropping of the log message in question. This is an acceptable
tradeoff for the performance benefit of avoiding locking.
As a quick benchmark, a demo program that registers 500 file
descriptors with the event loop (eg equiv of 500 QEMU monitor
commands), creates pending read I/O on every FD, and then runs
virEventRunDefaultImpl() took 4.6 seconds to do 51200 iterations.
After this optimization it only takes 3.3 seconds, with the log
APIs no longer being a relevant factor in the running time.

Any source file which calls the logging APIs now needs
to have a VIR_LOG_INIT("source.name") declaration at
the start of the file. This provides a static variable
of the virLogSource type.

As part of the goal to get away from doing string matching on
filenames when deciding whether to emit a log message, turn
the virLogSource enum into a struct which contains a log
"name". There will eventually be one virLogSource instance
statically declared per source file. To minimise churn in this
commit though, a single global instance is used.

Convert the type of loop iterators named 'i', 'j', k',
'ii', 'jj', 'kk', to be 'size_t' instead of 'int' or
'unsigned int', also santizing 'ii', 'jj', 'kk' to use
the normal 'i', 'j', 'k' naming

Call virLogVMessage instead of virLogMessage, since libudev
called us with a va_list object, not a list of arguments.
Honor message priority and strip the trailing newline.

When reading log output from QEMU/LXC we need to skip over any
libvirt log messages. Currently the QEMU driver checks for a
fixed string, but this is better done with a regex. Add a method
virLogProbablyLogMessage to do a regex check
