[RFE] add new "kernel log buffer" target, or at least a functions to feed qb_log_custom_open with that effect

It would make a tonne of sense if logging clients running on Linux had a convenient ability to opt-in to log urgent messages also to kmsg, since it may be at times backed with actual firmware-specific persistent storage[1,2] that may obviate various disk synchronization issues, which may othetwise prevent some before-death messages to be made durable at all.

Alternative approach could be to utilize persistent storage directly by the client program, e.g. by dumping a blackbox file there, but e.g., in case of kernel crash, it is not achievable.
