[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] log: support custom log function

Currently, 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 method is another choice for this scenario.
