We need the git-revision for module-version checks so provide the
infrastructure now and print it in log_init().
Note that the git-describe string is distributed with the tarballs so
end-users will not have to generate it themself. But when building from
git, the revision will be automatically updated whenever something
changes.

When enabling the printf() logic for the logging subsystem, several
warnings were produced about missing or wrong specifiers. This fixes all
those occurrences.

Sorry for the big commit, but I was working on the wlterm application and
then thought I can rework the whole configure-logic again. This mainly
renames all build-defines to BUILD_DEFINE_* and BUILD_HAVE_* and allows
specifying which applications to build via --enable-kmscon/--enable-wlterm
and similar.
wlterm is a new application which is a native wayland client with no
external dependencies. It serves several purposes:
* It uses TSM (not yet implemented, but will come soon) to create a
console independent from kmscon. This shows how TSM can easily be used
to create independent terminal emulators.
* It is a native wayland application (probably the first independent
wayland app so far?) and is used to test how well the wayland API
works. As wayland is still under heavy development, we need more
application-writers who report back whether the wayland-API makes
sense to them and whether it works correctly.
* A proper terminal-emulator for wayland! There is currently no proper
emulator so we really need something that we can work with.

The kernel defines 8 severities. Lets be compatible to these numbers so
our API will not have to be changes in the future.
This also causes LOG_ALERT to be added. It is not used, yet, but may be in
the future.
We also change the parameter type of severities to "unsigned int". Enum
variables can change types if new enums are added. We don't want that so
use a fixed type.

eloop.c and log.c use struct timeval to calculate time-diffs but
incorrectly use "-" instead of "+" as the value is already negative.
They also use unsigned integers so fix both occurences.

The new logger is much more powerful, allows online log-filter
modifications and precise debugging. We still avoid heavy file-operations
as we rely on the caller to forward stderr to a log-file and perform
log-rotations. However, we now provide a simple way to perform this
forward inside the application.

This makes things easier in the common case of
<some error> -> <log error> -> <goto error handler> - <do something with
errno>

We simply forward all log messages to stderr. We use syslog/prink-like severity
prefixes. Use systemd or alike to forward stderr to syslog, kernel-log or
similar.
