[PATCH v3 05/14] config: Look up log file in configuration file

This requires change in LIBCAMERA_LOG_FILE interpretation so that we can
disable the log file in isolated processes.  If LIBCAMERA_LOG_FILE is
defined but empty, it means there is no log file, even if defined in the
configuration file.  This should cause no compatibility trouble since
opening a file with an empty name makes little sense.

The configuration snippet:

  configuration:
    log:
      file: FILENAME
