[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] log: support custom log function

[Li Feng <fengli@smartx.com>]

By default, the dpdk log is out to stdout/stderr and syslog.
The rte_openlog_stream could set an external FILE* stream, but it
asks the consumer to give it a FILE* pointer.
For C++ or other languages, it's hard to get a libc FILE*.

Support to set a hook is another choice for this scenario.

v4: Fix the code style.
v3: Rename the func, change the comments, add funcs in version.map.
v2: Simplify the code.
