MINOR: sink: create definitions a minimal code for event sinks The principle will be to be able to dispatch events to various destinations called "sinks". This is already done in part in logs where log servers can be either a UDP socket or a file descriptor. This will be needed with the new trace subsystem where we may also want to add ring buffers. And it turns out that all such destinations make sense at all places. Logs may need to be sent to a TCP server via a ring buffer, or consulted from the CLI. Trace events may need to be sent to stdout/stderr as well as to remote log servers. This patch creates a new structure "sink" aiming at addressing these similar needs. The goal is to merge together what is common to all of them, such as the output format, the dropped events count, etc, and also keep separately the target identification (network address, file descriptor). Provisions were made to have a "waiter" on the sink. For a TCP log server it will be the task to wake up after writing to the log buffer. For a ring buffer, it could be the list of watchers on the CLI running a "tail" operation and waiting for new events. A lock was also placed in the struct since many operations will require some locking, including the FD ones. The output formats covers those in use by logs and two extra ones prepending the ISO time in front of the message (convenient for stdio/buffer). For now only the generic infrastructure is present, no type-specific output is implemented. There's the sink_write() function which prepares and formats a message to be sent, trying hard to avoid copies and only using pointer manipulation, where the type-specific code just has to be added. Dropped messages are already counted (for now 100% drop). The message is put into an iovec array as it will be trivial to use with file descriptors and sockets.
