[PATCH] dmesg: add support for dumping log into file

[Ahmad Fatoum]

We already have a log_writefile() helper for dumping the log into a
file. Make it easily accessible via the shell by having a new
dmesg -o option call it.

There is nothing keeping us from extending the function to support flags
and levels like log_print does, but this can follow later if needed.
