**Log format**

The runtime should decorate each log entry with a RFC 3339Nano timestamp
prefix, the stream type (i.e., "stdout" or "stderr"), and ends with a newline.
prefix, the stream type (i.e., "stdout" or "stderr"), the tags of the log
entry, the log content that ends with a newline.

The `tags` fields can support multiple tags, delimited by `:`. Currently, only
one tag is defined in CRI to support multi-line log entries: partial or full.
Partial (`P`) is used when a log entry is split into multiple lines by the
runtime, and the entry has not ended yet. Full (`F`) indicates that the log
entry is completed -- it is either a single-line entry, or this is the last
line of the muiltple-line entry.

For example,
```
2016-10-06T00:17:09.669794202Z stdout The content of the log entry 1
2016-10-06T00:17:10.113242941Z stderr The content of the log entry 2
2016-10-06T00:17:09.669794202Z stdout F The content of the log entry 1
2016-10-06T00:17:09.669794202Z stdout P First line of log entry 2
2016-10-06T00:17:09.669794202Z stdout P Second line of the log entry 2
2016-10-06T00:17:10.113242941Z stderr F Last line of the log entry 2
```

With the knowledge, kubelet can parses the logs and serve them for `kubectl
