Implements -t -p ans -s. Same functionality as busybox logger sans

There is one sublte corner case though:
logger "", logger "" "", or even logger </dev/null
gnu silently ignores all of them
busybox logs logger "" and logger "" "", but ignores logger </dev/null
this toy logs them all
The reason I haven't done logger yet is nothing specifies what the log
levels should _be_. Posix says:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009696699/utilities/logger.html
The logger utility saves a message, in an unspecified manner and
format,
containing the string operands provided by the user. The messages are
expected to be evaluated later by personnel performing system
administration tasks.
Which is almost useless as a spec.
You've hardwired in a dozen plus names, including a bunch of local#
names which don't seem particularly advisable. Those names do _not_
include three of the four android ones:

That has "main", "events", "radio", and "system", hardwired into the
kernel. (And uses a different mechanism to write to them, each with its
own /dev node going into a separate kernel buffer.)
Hmmm, I've thrown it into pending so I don't lose track of it, but
there's pending design work here.
