--and disable by default in fftools. The benefits are:

 * Smaller log file sizes
 * Makes log files better readable
 * Allows comparing and viewing log file diffs without almost every line
   being different due to those addresses

Versions
========


V2
==

 * Added log flag for optionally restoring the previous behavior (as
   requested by Gyan)


V3
==

 * Externalize the prefix formatting with a prefix_format callback


V4
==

 * Implement a custom logging callback function for fftools instead of the
   prefix formatting callback (as suggested by Hendrik Leppkes)


V5
==

 * Remove unused var
 * Add missing include to fix build error on PPC (thanks, Michael)


V6
==

 * No more changes to avutil involved
 * Let fftools have its own management of log level and flags (as figured to
   be most likely what Nicolas George was alluding to)


V7
==

 * Minimal version without "simple id" substitution
 * Defaults for printing mem addresses:
   * fftools: off
   * avutil: on

     -    fftools/opt_common: add memaddresses log flag
     +    avutil/log: Add log flag AV_LOG_PRINT_MEMADDRESSES
      
     -    This commit adds the memaddresses log flag.
     -    When specifying this flag at the command line, context prefixes will
     -    be printed with memory addresses like in earlier ffmpeg versions.
     -    Memory addresses are no longer printed by default.
     -
     -    The benefits are:
     -
     -    - Smaller log file sizes
     -    - The disambiguation is much easier to recognize and to follow
     -    - It eventually allows comparing and viewing log file diffs
     -      without almost every line being different due to those addresses
     -
     -    Example with memaddresses flag:
     -
     -    [hevc @ 0000018e72a89cc0] .....
     -
     -    without (new behavior):
     -
     -    [hevc #0] .....
     +    which is controls prefix formatting. With this flag set, the prefix is
     +    printed including the memory address, otherwise it is omitted.
     +    In libavutil, the flag is set by default, retaining the previous
     +    behavior. fftools remove the flag as default.
