bitcoind should be able to log to stderr or stdout #665

Description

@eldentyrell

Currently bitcoind sends its debug logs into ~/.bitcoind/debug.log.

When running bitcoind under a process supervisor like daemontools or runit, it is much more convenient to have bitcoind simply spit out any logging messages on its own stdout or stderr; the process supervisor will collect them and send them to the right place.

Could we please have a command-line switch that causes any and all debug information to be printed on the console rather than sent to a file?

Thanks!
