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.
