That cannot work unless vlc_Log() drops the vlc_object_t parameter.

Without it:

- There would be no more object in messages.

- The future LibVLC logging API would have to be process-scoped
  rather than instance-scoped.

Nevertheless:

- The plugin name would still be available in messages.

- The file name, function name and line number could be added.

Even then, it is not clear that LibVLC could register with libav errors.
Doing that might cause problems in programs using both libav-through-LibVLC
and libav directly or through something else than LibVLC.
