_dbus_logv: configurably log to syslog and/or stderr
This changes the behaviour of _dbus_logv() if _dbus_init_system_log() was
not called. Previously, _dbus_logv() would always log to syslog;
additionally, it would log to stderr, unless the process is dbus-daemon
and it was started by systemd. Now, it will log to stderr only,
unless _dbus_init_system_log() was called first.
This is the desired behaviour because when we hook up
_dbus_warn_check_failed() to _dbus_logv() in the next commit, we don't
want typical users of libdbus to start logging their check failures to
syslog - we only want the dbus-daemon to do that.
In practice this is not usually a behaviour change, because there was
only one situation in which we called _dbus_logv() without first calling
_dbus_init_system_log(), namely an error while parsing configuration
files. Initialize the system log "just in time" in that situation
to preserve existing behaviour.
