daemon: add --log-destination=(stderr|syslog|none)

Browse Source 
This new option can be used to override the implicit --syslog of
--inetd, or to disable all logging. (While --detach also implies
--syslog, --log-destination=stderr with --detach is useless since
--detach disassociates the process from the original stderr.) --syslog
is retained as an alias for --log-destination=syslog.

--log-destination always overrides implicit --syslog regardless of
option order. This is different than the “last one wins” logic that
applies to some implicit options elsewhere in Git, but should hopefully
be less confusing. (I also don’t know if *all* implicit options in Git
follow “last one wins”.)

The combination of --inetd with --log-destination=stderr is useful, for
instance, when running `git daemon` as an instanced systemd service
(with associated socket unit). In this case, log messages sent via
syslog are received by the journal daemon, but run the risk of being
processed at a time when the `git daemon` process has already exited
(especially if the process was very short-lived, e.g. due to client
error), so that the journal daemon can no longer read its cgroup and
attach the message to the correct systemd unit (see systemd/systemd#2913
[1]). Logging to stderr instead can solve this problem, because systemd
can connect stderr directly to the journal daemon, which then already
knows which unit is associated with this stream.

zero for no limit.
--syslog::
Log to syslog instead of stderr. Note that this option does not imply
--verbose, thus by default only error conditions will be logged.
Short for `--log-destination=syslog`.
--log-destination=<destination>::
Send log messages to the specified destination.
Note that this option does not imply --verbose,
thus by default only error conditions will be logged.
The <destination> must be one of:

stderr::
Write to standard error.
Note that if `--detach` is specified,
the process disconnects from the real standard error,
making this destination effectively equivalent to `none`.
syslog::
Write to syslog, using the `git-daemon` identifier.
none::
Disable all logging.

The default destination is `syslog` if `--inetd` or `--detach` is specified,
otherwise `stderr`.
