That is hard because the logging code is located in src/core/log.h|cc
while the simulation code is located in src/simulator/simulator.h and
the 'core' module is not supposed to depend on the 'simulator' module.

Maybe we could just add a couple of extra logging functions in
src/simulator/sim-log.h ?

NS_SIM_LOG_FUNCTION () et al ?

I have ended up using my own trace functions in the wifi code which wrap
NS_LOG_* and add the timestamp.
