Can be used by anything that wants to add to a list of messages and
then spit them back at a particular time. The current use case for
this is the filesystem configuration descriptor, which can accumulate
messages about config options which can then be read from the file
descriptor later via a .read operation.
This code was based on fc_log originally written by David Howells in
commit e7582e16a170db4c85995c1c03d194ea1ea621fc "vfs: Implement
logging through fs_context".
