/**
 * A helper function parsing provided command line arguments and handling two
 * specific args:
 *
 * -MOZ_LOG=modulelist
 * -MOZ_LOG_FILE=file/path
 *
 * both expecting an argument, and corresponding to the same-name environment
 * variables we use for logging setup.
 *
 * When an argument is found in the proper form, the consumer callback is called
 * with a string in a follwing form, note that we do this for every occurence,
 * and not just at the end of the parsing:
 *
 * "MOZ_LOG=modulelist" or "MOZ_LOG_FILE=file/path"
 *
 * All the following forms of arguments of the application are possible:
 *
 * --MOZ_LOG modulelist
 * -MOZ_LOG modulelist
 * --MOZ_LOG=modulelist
 * -MOZ_LOG=modulelist
 *
 * The motivation for a separte function and not implementing a command line
 * handler interface is that we need to process this very early during the
 * application startup.  Command line handlers are proccessed way later
 * after logging has already been set up.
