New prefix for file logging

After some discussion, this is what we came up for the prefix format:

[04/09 11:44:47 DEBUG job]

This seems like a good compromise when we look at our needs:

  * Easily sortable using standard unix tools
  * Easily understandable by human being that looks at it
  * Machine parsing of it shouldn't be really hard
  * Much less space hungry

This patch implements this format for file based logging. As I haven't
heard complaints about the format being used for the stdout/err
formating, I am keeping it as it was.
