src/fsm/log/* three files created in this dir: manager.c, oper.c and appendix.c
These three files contain all the functions needed for the log to be init, build
and published.

The most important function is in the 'manager' file:

fsm_add_log (int severity,
             int source,
             const char *file_source,
             const char *function_source,
             const char *string_value)

Any event to be reported must call this function.

include/fsm.h: prepares the building of a log and create src/readme.doc
This commit is the first in a series that will make the fsm apt to build the
log.

The log (or journal) records events chronologically from the start to the end
of the programme.
Its quantitatively most important part is to report on the execution of the
session.

The log will be created from the fsm (finite state machine) which describes
all the possible states of the Gem-graph client and all the transitions between
them.

The fsm header is introduced in this commit.

It lists the structures, functions and tools that the log will need and details
the presentation of events in the log
[date - rank - source file - source function - value].

The src/readme.docs file provides an initial overview of the missions and their
distribution in the code files.

*
* In this commit, the FSM (Finite State Machine) header only lists all the
* structures that the log needs. Other fsm functions will be introduced in
* subsequent commits. @see readme.docs and this text below.
*
* ---
*
* The two structures and the two enums listed below will stay in the fsm header.
*
* All functions but the last one are now in dedicated files.
*
* The most important function: fsm_add_log() is in the file:
* /src/fsm/log/manager.c
*
* This file contains the declaration of the log with the static attribute,
* which forces all the functions that read or write it to be in it.
* Forcing all functions that read or write to the log to be grouped together
* help to prevent uncontrolled operations.
*
* All events sent to the log must pass through this function, which allows them
* to be filtered before being published in the log.
*
* ---
*
* Here's how the procedure works.
* A message is send to the fsm_add_log() function for each documented event.
* If there are too many events, this is the only function that allows you to
* apply one or more filters before publication. This allows you to select the
* events of interest, which can vary depending on the type of session.
* These filters can operate on any the following five parameters:
* severity, source, file_source, function_source, string_value.
* They can be combined using any logical operators and parentheses.
*
* 'severity' is one of the following pre-defined values:
* FATAL - ERROR - WARN - INFO - DEBUG - TRACE
*
* 'source' is a pre-defined value (typically a name of a structure) that can be
* associated to each event. It can be set to 'NULL'.
*
* file_source, function_source and string_value are three strings.
*
* ---
*
* The four most important executive functions needed by the log are in the
* dedicated file: /src/fsm/log/oper.c:
*
* NB: fsm_clear_log() is designed to close what was initiated by fsm_init_log().
* As, in this commit, fsm_publish_log() is the last instruction and no memory
* leaks are detected, the use of fsm_clear_log() is not required.
*
* - fsm_init_log()
* - fsm_publish_log()
* - fsm_clear_log()
* - fsm_add_log_event()
* .
*
* A typical list would also feature the following three functions
* but in the case of a log, their usefulness remains to be demonstrated.
* These functions are therefore apart in the file /src/fsm/log/appendix.c
*
* - fsm_get_log_length()
* - fsm_seek_log()
* - fsm_remove_log()
* .

* @details
* The code files are all located in the src (sources) directory.
*
* They are divided according to several *types of organisation*:
*
* - *hierarchical*: the widgets that give the windows their appearance are
* organised in the form of a tree.
* Windows are the first level of depth.
* Next come the windows contents: the title bars and the pages.
* The pages are designed to occupy the windows space below the title bars.
* Each of these pages has its own hierarchical structure: it can be divided
* into horizontal or vertical strips, which can themselves be divided in the
* same way, with varying levels of depth right down to the last containers
* which contain lists of widgets such as buttons, bars, entries or images.
*
* - *list*: the main *sections* of the fsm (finite state machine) constitute
* a list of at least four elements, each of which defines a set of possible
* states :
* -# execute or edit (managing the appropriate tools states in both cases)
* -# measure, operate on data, prepare displayable results
* -# user preferences
* -# desired state of windows and widgets
*
* The state of the fsm is uniquely defined at all times by all the parameters
* listed in these sections. All program actions depend on this state.
*
* - *transversal*: the other functions that must be easily accessible by all
* the previous functions. They are therefore all located at the root.
* These are the functions that manage graphics, callbacks and utilities.
* Although 'transversal', the log is part of the fsm.
