model (1): c-hglib: hg_log() level 1 function

This mechanism could be called model (1):

(1) Return immedietely after having sent the command to commandserv,
    just wrapping a call to hg_rawcommand().
    Other API functions are provided to retrieve:
    (a) the data sent in response by the commandserv, in parsed
(structured) form
    (b) the exitcode, i.e. the content of the 'r' channel after all things
        have happened.


Some commands must handle huge mass of data. One of those commands is "hg log"
command, that is build in this commit.

The revision history could have a huge mass of data. To deal with this issue, I
had created a iterator-like mechanism. In this way I will get the changesets in
chunks or more-like one at the time.

The hg_log function will prepare the command and then will call cmd-server for
changesets. This function will return to the user a iterator structure, to be
used on hg_fetch_log_entry funciton. (The log command will not passing any
changeset to the user)

The hg_fetch_log_entry function will read changesets from command server and
will pass into the hg_log_entry_t structure in a parse way the changeset.
The hg_log_entry_t structure will be one of the function parameter.

In the main.c file it can be found an example on how this function can be used.
