Comment:

 I started this branch based on #31854, assuming that it will merge as-is.
 (There was a small merge conflict between #31854 and master, which I have
 fixed.)

 Here is a revised design:

 1. Add a LD_SKIP_CB log flag, which skips callback loggers when sending
 the log message, and:
   a) rename other flags to avoid ambiguity
   b) write unit tests for all the log flags
 3. Implement a log_debug_control_trace() macro, which:
   a) uses the domain `LD_CONTROL|LD_SKIP_CB`
   b) escapes user-controlled data, and raw data from tor
   c) formats the trace log using a key="quoted value" grammar
   d) logs the trace message using log_debug()

 Here is my initial branch, at step 1. a)
 * master: https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/1386
 It also includes the commits from #31854.

 I'm looking for a design review at this stage.
