Comment:

 It should be ready for review.

 The branch starts by removing original python/isc/log (and therefore
 temporarily removing logging from xfrout), as I needed the python
 interpretter to find my .so library, not the original directory.

 Then there's series of commits implementing the actual API. There are only
 few functions to initialize it or so on the module level and one class ‒
 Logger. It doesn't cover the whole C++ API, but it should be enough to
 produce logging.

 Follows a merge of master to include some fixes and adaptation to changes
 from there.

 It is not possible to configure the logging yet. My plan is to (in a
 different ticket) get the configuration data, convert it back to JSON and
 pass it to the C++ configuration code, so only one entry point will be
 needed for it.

 I hope it is not much of a mess (there are two parts that are not really
 straight-forward, one is parsing of the parameters of the logging methods,
 as the PyArgs_parse thing doesn't support arbitrary number of arguments,
 and other is sharing code of similar methods).
