Strife logs in any game

Added a generic log display that can show Strife's log messages in all games regardless of the current game, active status bar and HUD mode.

So, how are these used? Is it just for messages created with the Strife script format? I know that the console can record messages but an actual log screen would be nice to have.

Also, it used to be possible to bring up Objective messages in Doom mode if you bound a key to it. I'd always kind of meant to get around to doing something with that but I just noticed that the functionality seems to be gone. Is that intentional?

Although you could bind a key to it these messages did not show outside Strife. That's what I added. Of course it might be a good idea to add an ACS function that can set the log. Currently the only method is through Strife's 'logxxx' lumps and the SendToCommunicator line special.

OK, I just tried and I got it to work, so that's cool, but an ACS driven version would be even better if you can see your way to doing it sometime.

First the SVN must be working again. After that it shouldn't be a problem.
