[v3] log: support custom log function

  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.

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

Rejecting this patch.
You can do the same thing with a small bit of C called during application
init that creates a standard I/O stream. Like fopencookie().

The added overhead of adding callback here adds unnecessary complexity.
