6e7ccf2320 android: add custom adb logcat formatter (#12385)
- standalone: no other dependencies than Python (>= 3.7) and adb
  (Android >= 4.3 [Jelly Bean])
- filter KOReader's traces, and other processes chatter about KOReader
  (e.g. mentions of its application ID or PID)
- show time, PID, TID (when different), tag, priority, and message
- only parse the log (don't rely on `adb shell` commands)
- can be used as a filter, including on its own (uncolored) output
- we can simplify instructions to users when asking for detailed logs

Why not use pidcat?
- project is unmaintained
- does not support Python 3 (need at least one extra patch)
- mangle long lines by wrapping them, even when not outputting to a terminal,
  which is a big no-no, IMHO (as it break searching, copy pasting, etc…)
