An application can now register an application defined callback
function, which will perform the actual logging. This provides
additional flexibility compared to logging to stderr with a hardcoded
format. Applications can now easily display the messages in their user
interface, customize the format, etc.
Although the internal logging function is a printf like function, the
arguments are converted into a plain string before being passed to the
callback function. This greatly improves interoperability with
programming languages which don't support C style variadic functions
(e.g. Python, C#, etc).
