bitbake.conf: Set BB_CONSOLELOG so we log console messages by default

The console log is often helpful for debugging issues. Difficult to
reproduce bugs would benefit from a log being generated by default as it
may be difficult to come by after the fact.

Log to ${TMPDIR}/cooker.log.${DATETIME} by default.
