Add logging API
Add new public API to provide the library users with some options to control and customize the logging output from the library. It is based upon the skeleton from the libabc demo libray: https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kay/libabc.git which is public domain and works pretty well. This requires passing in the context object in every logging call, and thus the conversion is done file by file. We also remove the global warningLevel variable in favor of a verbosity level in the context, which can be set by the user and is silent by default. One issue is the ACTION calls, which, while nice, do not play very well with line- and priority-based logging, and would require some line continuation handling or keeping state or some other compromise. So instead remove these and just inline them with their respective warning/error. So instead of: ERROR("Memory allocation failed\n") ACTION("Removing all files on hardisk\n") its something like that: log_err("Memory allocation failed; Removing all files on harddisk\n") Signed-off-by: Ran Benita <ran234@gmail.com>
