Add Logging.Create Interface
This interface, when implemented by phosphor-logging, would allow one
to create xyz.openbmc_project.Logging.Entry objects via a Create D-Bus
method call.
This interface was designed for the following reasons:
1) Bypass the current step of creating an error log which involves
searching the journal for specific predefined metadata keywords and
just make the D-Bus call to the logging server directly to create
the error. This means the code would no longer need to include the
phosphor-logging elog-errors.hpp header, which has an added bonus of
not requiring the bbappends that are currently required to tell
phosphor-logging about any error YAML files outside of the main repo.
2) As these errors are no longer are involved in the elog() exceptions
that are thrown across D-Bus calls by sdbusplus, there is no longer a
need to include the xyz/openbmc_project/.../error.hpp sdbusplus
headers, which were required even for errors that the developer never
had any intent on returning from D-Bus calls.
