Previously only the CMC understood the Livestatus command LOG. This works for the Nagios core now, too.

Note: For technical reasons the command is available under the name _LOG, too, when the Nagios core is used, but this name is discouraged when using Livestatus. On the other hand: If you use the Nagios command pipe, you have to use _LOG. This tiny inconsistency is a bit unfortunate, but it is caused by the way how Nagios handles custom commands.
