Containers logging to stdout and rsyslog

Registered by Juan Antonio Osorio Robles

The proposal is to start logging to stdout/stdout in the container as would be
a standard practice for logging in containers. This would allow the logs to get
picked up by the docker logging driver, and thus we can use "docker logs" to
view the logs of a process as one would usually expect. It would also help us
decouple a bit more the containers from the host, since we wouldn't be mounting
directories from it anymore. This will be done in a pluggable fashion. Furthermore, we will add integration with the Openshift Logging Stack or Viaq, and do so by adding an rsyslog container that forwards and processes the logs.
