Comment (by ahf):

 This should be done using the other new message (`STATUS`) rather than
 `LOG`. In this ticket we should figure out what information would be
 useful to note here and standardize the parameters to the given `STATUS`
 message (which values we emit).

 If a PT process today want to just do a "plain text" heartbeat like log
 line (like Tor does) they can do it via the `LOG` statement. This is less
 useful for Tor though since we would have to parse the text message, which
 is what `STATUS` tries to solve.
