In many places, we have direct perror() calls, which completely bypass
logging functions and log files.
They are definitely convenient: offer similar convenience with
_perror() logging variants, so that we can drop those direct perror()
calls.

After commit 15001b39ef ("conf: set the log level much earlier"), we
had a phase during initialisation when messages wouldn't be printed to
standard error anymore.
Commit f67238aa86 ("passt, log: Call __openlog() earlier, log to
stderr until we detach") fixed that, but only for the case where no
log files are given.
If a log file is configured, vlogmsg() will not call passt_vsyslog(),
but during initialisation, LOG_PERROR is set, so to avoid duplicated
prints (which would result from passt_vsyslog() printing to stderr),
we don't call fprintf() from vlogmsg() either.
This is getting a bit too complicated. Instead of abusing LOG_PERROR,
define an internal logging flag that clearly represents that we're not
done with the initialisation phase yet.
If this flag is not set, make sure we always print to stderr, if the
log mask matches.

We currently use a LOG_EMERG log mask to represent the fact that we
don't know yet what the mask resulting from configuration should be,
before the command line is parsed.
However, we have the necessity of representing another phase as well,
that is, configuration is parsed but we didn't daemonise yet, or
we're not ready for operation yet. The next patch will add that
notion explicitly.
Mapping these cases to further log levels isn't really practical.
Introduce boolean log flags to represent them, instead of abusing
log priorities.

Currently logmsg() is only available as a variadic function. This is fine
for normal use, but is awkward if we ever want to write wrappers around it
which (for example) add standardised prefix information. To allow that,
add a vlogmsg() function which takes a va_list instead, and implement
logmsg() in terms of it.

logmsg() takes printf like arguments, but because it's not a built in, the
compiler won't generate warnings if the format string and parameters don't
match. Enable those by using the format attribute.
Strictly speaking this is a gcc extension, but I believe it is also
supported by some other common compilers. We already use some other
attributes in various places. For now, just use it and we can worry about
compilers that don't support it if it comes up.
This exposes some warnings from existing callers, both in gcc and in
clang-tidy:
- Some are straight out bugs, which we correct
- It's occasionally useful to invoke the logging functions with an empty
string, which gcc objects to, so disable that specific warning in the
Makefile
- Strictly speaking the C standard requires that the parameter for a %p
be a (void *), not some other pointer type. That's only likely to cause
problems in practice on weird architectures with different sized
representations for pointers to different types. Nonetheless add the
casts to make it happy.

In log.c we use a macro to define logging functions for each of 4 priority
levels. The only difference between these is the priority we pass to
vsyslog() and similar functions. Because it's done as a macro, however,
the entire functions code is included in the binary 4 times.
Rearrange this to take the priority level as a parameter to a regular
function, then just use macros to define trivial wrappers which pass the
priority level.
This saves about 600 bytes of text in the executable (x86, non-AVX2).

In practical terms, passt doesn't benefit from the additional
protection offered by the AGPL over the GPL, because it's not
suitable to be executed over a computer network.
Further, restricting the distribution under the version 3 of the GPL
wouldn't provide any practical advantage either, as long as the passt
codebase is concerned, and might cause unnecessary compatibility
dilemmas.

If we define die() as a variadic macro, passing __VA_ARGS__ to err(),
and calling exit() outside err() itself, we can drop the workarounds
introduced in commit 36f0199f6e ("conf, tap: Silence two false

Almost all occurences of err() are either immediately followed by
exit(EXIT_FAILURE), usage(argv[0]) (which itself then calls
exit(EXIT_FAILURE), or that is what's done immediately after returning
from the function that calls err(). Modify the errfn macro so that its
instantiations can include exit(EXIT_FAILURE) at the end, and use that
to create a new function die() that will log an error and then
exit.

In some environments, such as KubeVirt pods, we might not have a
system logger available. We could choose to run in foreground, but
this takes away the convenient synchronisation mechanism derived from
forking to background when interfaces are ready.
Add optional logging to file with -l/--log-file and --log-size.
Unfortunately, this means we need to duplicate features that are more
appropriately implemented by a system logger, such as rotation. Keep
that reasonably simple, by using fallocate() with range collapsing
where supported (Linux kernel >= 3.15, extent-based ext4 and XFS) and
falling back to an unsophisticated block-by-block moving of entries
toward the beginning of the file once we reach the (mandatory) size
limit.
While at it, clarify the role of LOG_EMERG in passt.c.
