[base] Added a public API to change the log handling function at run-time.

	* include/freetype/ftlogging.h (FT_Custom_Log_Handler): New function
	pointer to store the custom callback logging function.
	(FT_Set_Log_Handler, FT_Set_Default_Log_Handler): New functions to set and
	reset custom log handler.

	* include/freetype/internal/ftdebug.h: Added variables to support custom
	callback logging function.
	(FT_Callback): A function to print log using custom callback logging
	function, which is set using `FT_Set_Log_Handler'.

	* src/base/ftdebug.c: Added support for handling custom logging callback
	function.
	(FT_Set_Log_Handler, FT_Set_Default_Log_Handler, FT_Callback): Added
	function definitions.
