Logging Plugin API

Servers and clients define a logger in their configuration. The logger is a plugin. A default plugin that logs to stdout is provided as an example. The logger plugin is stateful and can point to custom data. So it is possible to keep open file handlers in the logger context.

Every log-message consists of a log-level, a log-category and a string message content. The timestamp of the log-message is created within the logger.
