add option to write offline event log file

This patch adds a "-w/--write-log" option to bitbake
that writes an event log file for the current build.

The name of the file is passed as a parameter to the "-w"
argument. If the parameter is the empty string '', the file
name is generated in the form bitbake_eventlog_DATE.json,
where DATE is the current date and time, with second precision.

The "-w" option can also be supplied as the BBEVENTLOG
environment variable.

We add a script, toater-eventreplay, that reads an event
log file and loads the data into a Toaster database, creating
a build entry.

We modify the toasterui to fix minor issues with reading
events from an event log file.

Performance impact is undetectable under no-task executed builds.
