	Start fixing bug #398479 - make errors visible to the user, and
	keep a debug log that can be used for bug reports.

	* admin-tool/sabayon: Include a comment with Emacs local variables
	so that it picks up python-mode for this file.
	* admin-tool/sabayon-apply: Likewise.

	* admin-tool/sabayon-session: Likewise.

	* lib/debuglog.py: New file for a ring buffer debug log, similar
	to nautilus-debug-log.

	* lib/test-debug-log.py: Simple test for the debug log mechanism.

	* lib/errors.py: New file with utilities to log the presence of
	recoverable errors.

	* admin-tool/sabayon-apply: Dump the debug log when the program
	finishes, so that the calling progrma will in turn log it
	somewhere.  If there was a recoverable error during execution,
	exit() with EXIT_CODE_RECOVERABLE=2 so that the calling program
	will notify the admin.  If we get a fatal exception, which would
	otherwise be uncaught, then exit() with EXIT_CODE_FATAL=1.
