python: add journal backend for the logging framework

Supports Python versions 2.6 through 3.3 (tested on 2.7 and 3.2).
See JournalHandler docstring for usage details.

[zj: - use send() instead of using sendv() directly
     - do exception handling like in the logging module
     - bumped min version to python2.6, since the module
       does not work with python2.5 anyway ]

+
+        Please see the Python logging module documentation for an
+        overview: http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html
+
+        To create a custom logger whose messages go only to journal:
+
+        >>> log = logging.getLogger('custom_logger_name')
+        >>> log.propagate = False
+        >>> log.addHandler(journal.JournalHandler())
+        >>> log.warn("Some message: %s", detail)
+
+        Note that by default, message levels INFO and DEBUG are ignored
+        by the logging framework. To enable those log levels:
+
+        >>> log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
+
+        To attach journal MESSAGE_ID, an extra field is supported:
+
+        >>> log.warn("Message with ID",
+        >>>     extra={'MESSAGE_ID': '22bb01335f724c959ac4799627d1cb61'})
+
+        To redirect all logging messages to journal regardless of where
+        they come from, attach it to the root logger:
+
+        >>> logging.root.addHandler(journal.JournalHandler())
+
+        For more complex configurations when using dictConfig or
+        fileConfig, specify 'systemd.journal.JournalHandler' as the
+        handler class.  Only standard handler configuration options
+        are supported: level, formatter, filters.
+
+        The following journal fields will be sent:
+
+        MESSAGE, PRIORITY, THREAD_NAME, CODE_FILE, CODE_LINE,
+        CODE_FUNC, LOGGER (name as supplied to getLogger call),
+        MESSAGE_ID (optional, see above).
