TBR: cosnicolaou/llog: update to latest version and github account

- this has moved from cosmosnicolaou to cosnicolaou on github.com
- update to latest version

Rereading the rules on third_party I see that third party approver
approval is only needed for initial checkins. This is just a move
and update, so I'm just going to TBR this.

+
+// Package llog implements support for logging analogous to the
+// Google-internal C++ INFO/ERROR/V setup.
+// It provides a low-level class (llog.T) that encapsulates all state and
+// and methods of multi-leveled logging (i.e. Info, Warning, Error and Fatal)
+// and formatting variants such as Infof. Each instance of T may be named
+// and hence multiple sets of logs can be produced by a single process.
+// It also provides V-style logging controlled by the -v and -vmodule=file=2
+// style flags. Although command line flags are not directly implemented,
+// implementations of the Go 1.2 flags.Value interface are provided to
+// make it easy for users to parse their command line flags correctly.
+// The NewLogger factory function accepts positional parameters that correspond
+// google command line flags.
+//
+//
+//	l := NewLogger("system")
+//	l.Print(infoLog, Info("Prepare to repel boarders")
+//
+//	l.Printf(fatalLog, "Initialization failed: %s", err)
+//
+// See the documentation for the V function for an explanation of these examples:
+//
+//	if l.V(2) {
+//		l.Print(infoLog,"Starting transaction...")
+//	}
+//
+//
+// Log output is buffered and written periodically using Flush. Programs
+// should call Flush before exiting to guarantee all log output is written.
+//
+// By default, all log statements write to files in a temporary directory.
+// This package provides several methods that modify this behavior.
+// These methods must be called before any logging is done.
+//
+//	NewLogger(name)
+//
+//	SetLogDir(logDir)
+//		log files will be written to this directory instead of the
+//		default temporary directory.
+//	SetLogToStderr(bool)
+//		If true, logs are written to standard error instead of to files.
+//	SetAlsoLogToStderr(bool)
+//		If true, logs are written to standard error as well as to files.
+//	SetStderrThreshold(level)
+//		Log events at or above this severity are logged to standard
+//		error as well as to files.
+//	SetMaxStackBufSize(size)
+//		Set the max size (bytes) of the byte buffer to use for stack
+//		traces. The default max is 4096K; use powers of 2 since the
+//		stack size will be grown exponentially until it exceeds the max.
+//              A min of 128K is enforced and any attempts to reduce this will
+//              be silently ignored.
+//
+//	Other controls provide aids to debugging.
+//
+//	SetLogBacktraceAt(location)
+//		When set to a file and line number holding a logging statement,
+//		such as
+//			gopherflakes.go:234
+//		a stack trace will be written to the Info log whenever execution
+//		hits that statement. (Unlike with -vmodule, the ".go" must be
+//		present.)
+//	SetV(level)
+//		Enable V-leveled logging at the specified level.
+//	SetVModule(module)
+//		The syntax of the argument is a comma-separated list of pattern=N,
+//		where pattern is a literal file name (minus the ".go" suffix) or
+//		"glob" pattern and N is a V level. For instance,
+//			-gopher*=3
+//		sets the V level to 3 in all Go files whose names begin "gopher".
+// SetVFilepath(regexp)
+//      The syntax of the argument is as per VModule, expect that regular
+//      expressions on the entire file path path are used instead of glob
+//      patterns on the file name component as SetVModule.
