1a30a6a1a1 Implement log truncation, now ready for testing
What (should) work):

 - LIBRETRO_DEVELOPER (default 1) to output all build progress

 - LIBRETRO_LOG_DIR (default $WORKDIR/log) to change WHERE logs get
   written.  Useful for buildbots that have multiple WORKDIRs to put
   logs in roughly the same place.

 - LIBRETRO_LOG_SUPER (default libretro-super.log) to change the name of
   libretro-build.sh's log file.  No log would be written if unset, but
   script-modules/log.sh sets it if unset for now.

 - LIBRETRO_LOG_CORE (default %s.log) to change the name pattern for a
   core log file.  The %s is replaced with the "safe" core name used by
   libretro-super's rules.

 - LIBRETRO_LOG_APPEND (default ""), if set, would not clobber the log
   files the next time you ran libretro-super.  Caution: mame's output
   is 34 megabytes on its own for a single successful build

What doesn't work yet:

 - You should be able to unset LIBRETRO_LOG_SUPER and LIBRETRO_LOG_CORE
   and have your decision mean something.  This is the #1 thing I must
   change, and I will do so in the next day or so.

 - We assume that if you want output to screen and log, you'll have the
   tee command.  What if you don't?  We choose log over screen in that
   case, but tee is such a trivial tool to implement, perhaps we should?

 - Currently logs lack date stamps.  Bash's built-in printf has a way to
   do this, but Apple STUPIDLY disables it because Apple.  Turns out
   that bash 2.05a didn't have the feature anyway.  You may not have the
   UNIX date command on Windows if you're somehow running bash from
   cmd.exe.  Worse, you have a command of the same name that requires a
   /t argument to do half of what date does on UNIX.  Running into
   limits of bash here, easily solved using most anything else.
