Commit 262bdae0330e used symbols which are only available if systemd
support was compiled in. Fix by using the appropriate #ifdef guards.
Also document the resulting PULSE_LOG_JOURNAL environment variable
behavior if systemd journal support was not compiled in.
[Diwic: changed wording slightly.]

By introducing such an environment variable, applications using the
PA client libraries can configure these libraries to send their logs
directly to the journal.
While client libraries journal logging can be indirectly achieved
using PULSE_LOG_SYSLOG, this pollutes the journal. Meta data gets
replicated twice: once in the journal meta fields and once in the
syslog(3) plain-text message itself.
For attaching any backtraces, also introduce the PA-specific journal
meta field PULSE_BACKTRACE. This is the recommend journal practice
instead of appending any furuther data to the logging message itself.

FSF addresses used in PA sources are no longer valid and rpmlint
generates numerous warnings during packaging because of this.
This patch changes all FSF addresses to FSF web page according to
the GPL how-to: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html

We currently use the term SYSTEMD when referring to libsystemd-login
and JOURNAL when referring to libsystemd-journal.
I will be shortly adding support for libsystemd-daemon and in
preparation I figured it would be a good idea to clarify the names
used currently before adding another!
The journal is a component of systemd, that captures Syslog messages,
Kernel log messages, initial RAM disk and early boot messages as well
as messages written to STDOUT/STDERR of all services, indexes them and
makes this available to the user.
It can be used in parallel, or in place of a traditional syslog daemon,
such as rsyslog or syslog-ng.
The journal offers a couple of improvements over traditional logging
facilities (e.g. advanced filtering capabilities).
This patch adds support for logging directly to the journal using its
native API.
file_path contains the last tried file name, including the suffix, so
the error message was wrong:
Tried to open target file '/tmp/test.log.99', '/tmp/test.log.99.1',
'/tmp/test.log.99.2' ... '/tmp/test.log.99.99', but all failed.
This patch displays thread name in the log, that would be more descriptive.
It improves Xingchao (xingchao.wang@intel.com)'s patch which shows thread id.

This patch enables logging of text debug messages (pa_log feature) into a file or a device driver.
Example : pulseaudio --log-target=file:./mylog.txt
(Minor tweaks by Colin + Arun)
When logging a suppression message do so on the same log level as the
suppressed messages.
Cherry picked by Colin Guthrie from ec5a785712
with a couple of additional changes due to extra limiting in master
that was not present in stable-queue.
