A somewhat tidied-up version of @lczech's concrete proposal in #1397 for overriding the default printing of hts_log messages to stderr. Draft, as the new function (and associated typedef) would require documenting in hts_log.h.
I don't know whether the
hts_log_*
functions are called from threads that HTSlib has started. If so, this callback function would be called from those threads — which might be “interesting”. This PR doesn't consider what to do in this case.
