log: Drop newlines in the middle of the perror()-like messages

Calling vlogmsg() twice from logmsg_perror() results in this beauty:

  $ ./pasta -i foo
  Invalid interface name foo
  : No such device

because the first part of the message, corresponding to the first
call, doesn't end with a newline, and vlogmsg() adds it.

Given that we can't easily append an argument (error description) to
a variadic list, add a 'newline' parameter to all the functions that
currently add a newline if missing, and disable that on the first call
to vlogmsg() from logmsg_perror(). Not very pretty but I can't think
of any solution that's less messy than this.
