Logcat support

This is probably the golden egg in AutoTools that really would bring Tasker's power into the real world.

By reading logcat, we can actually get a massive payload of varying data that would be available only to root or xposed style mods.

Examples are, detecting what Smart Lock unlocked your device just by searching logcat for "authenticate" when Display Unlock Event occurs. Another is determining if the connected USB device is ADB authorized or not by doing the same, but looking for "adb device (un)authorized"

By granting permission android.permission.READ_LOGS this would allow Tasker to do much more root powered detection without root. It could also open new avenues for built in features.

Logcat reveals almost every secret of what your device is doing. This would be epic beyond words.

Thank you!
