Clean up the writing of recording messages.

Since some messages such as "Offsets thread is finished.", "Received header for stream ", etc, are being outputted from multiple threads, they show up looking a mess inside a console window, especially when one has multiple LSL streams running. Perhaps you can lock a new "output mutex" when doing calls to cout and cerr to make sure the messages look nice.

So far I haven't had that issue personally, but I mostly have less than 10 streams and maybe my libstdc++ is less prone to it than others.

My suggestion: create a logging function (void log(const std::string& msg)) that locks a mutex internally. That way we can also enable callbacks to a logging function later on more easily.
Is this something you'd be comfortable preparing a PR for?

Yep that's exactly what I was thinking. I can do a PR for it pretty soon. For reference this messy message issue was seen on multiple different Windows 10 machines in both CMD and PowerShell outputs.
