--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


V8
==

 * Negated flag logic
 * Use singular naming
 * Fix flag doc text (thanks, Andreas!)
