Make log-statements in hookfiles output reporter-specific content

It would be nice if one could have small log statements in the hookfiles that are compatible with the selected reporter.

console.log("something") will break the syntax of the output files (xunit-reporter for example)

Mocha's reporters all write (in some form or another) to process.stdout. From Abao, if your hookfiles wrote to process.stderr (e.g., console.warn or console.error), no mixing would occur.

Take a look at the debug module; read about both basic and advanced usage.
