Portage uses the colon (:) as a separator between the components of a log file under PORTAGE_LOGDIR. However, the colon is often used as a "word" separator by shells and consoles, which makes it not user-friendly to select the full path of the log file. For example, double-clicking on a portage log file path in Kitty will not select the complete path, only the substring of the path up to the nearest colon. Therefore, this introduces PORTAGE_LOG_FILE_SEP, which allows the user to choose the separator used for log files. To keep the existing behavior, PORTAGE_LOG_FILE_SEP defaults to ':'.
