Unfortunately "-std=c99" is not sufficient to make gcc ignore code that
uses constructs of earlier C standards, which were abandoned in C99.

some related discussion.

Remove the paragraph about writing to the Free Software Foundation's
mailing address. The FSF has changed addresses in the past, and may do
so again. In 2021 this is not useful, let's rather have a bit less
boilerplate at the start of source files.

So far, we used blocking, buffered fwrite() to write to stderr
and file targets. This causes problems if there are [slow] consumers
causing delays, such as gnome-terminal (when the program is started
interactively) or systemd/journald (where we observe 64..128ms blocks on
stderr).
This patch introduces stderr/file based logging via write_queue
and osmo_select_main(), i.e. switch from glibc-buffered, blocking
to internally buffered, non-blocking writes.
* when osmo_stderr_target is created via application.c, we create it
in blocking stream mode for backwards compatibility, particularly
for [smaller] programs that don't use osmo_select_main()
* when the VTY code encounters 'log stderr' or 'log file FILENAME',
we switch that respective target to non-blocking write-queue mode,
as this means the application is in fact using osmo_select_main()
* The config file can now state 'log stderr blocking-io' or
'log file FILENAME blocking-io' to explicitly enforce using blocking
stream based I/O
* The application can at any time use API functions to switch either way

log_enable_multithread() enables use of locks inside the
implementation. Lock use is disabled by default, this way only
multi-thread processes need to enable it and suffer related
complexity/performance penalties.
Locks are required around osmo_log_target_list and items inside it,
since targets can be used, modified and deleted by different threads
concurrently (for instance, user writing "logging disable" in VTY while
another thread is willing to write into that target).
Multithread apps and libraries aiming at being used in multithread apps
should update their code to use the locks introduced here when
containing code iterating over osmo_log_target_list explictly or
implicitly by obtaining a log_target (eg. osmo_log_vty2tgt()).

Since March 15th 2017, libosmocore API logging_vty_add_cmds() had its
parameter removed (c65c5b4ea0). However,
definition in C file doesn't contain "(void)", which means number of
parameters is undefined and thus compiler doesn't complain. Let's remove
parameters from all callers before enforcing "(void)" on it.

I am setting out to refactor various details about logging. To show the effect,
I am first adding this new test to illustrate the exact effects on the various
osmo programs.
Add logging_vty_test.c as a standalone program that simply defines a few
logging categories and opens a telnet vty to play with.
Add logging_vty_test.vty, as an osmo_verify_transcript_vty.py test script.
Add --enable-external-tests to configure.ac, to enable running
logging_vty_test.vty during 'make check'.
Also allow running 'make vty-test' without the need to first configure with
--enable-external-tests (a flexibility I've missed many times over in the other
osmo source trees).
Add a Makefile.am stub for external CTRL tests, basically a copy-paste from
osmo-msc.git. I doubt that libosmocore will get python driven CTRL interface
testing any time soon, but if so we will know to not run it concurrently.
