Change default behavior, allow kernel logs to console

A Linux system booted with the kernel command line option 'quiet' only
logs error (and above) severity messages to the console.  For embedded
systems, which is the primary target for Finit, this is what you want
to see.

Hence, and after careful consideration, this patch changes the default
behavior of Finit to allow kernel logs to the console.  A build-time
configure flags, --disable-kernel-logging, has been added to restore
legacy behavior.
