add hook to worker's logger to job

Right now, the only way to get output from your job is to use puts. It would be nice to be able to access the worker's output log stream via something like job#log.

Can't you use Rails.logger or whatever application logger you're using?

I haven't looked at this in 7 months, but I believe I tried using Rails.logger at first.

I think this is a great idea, and a Job#log function's been added to the unified branch. You specify a message and an optional hash of additional data and it gets added to the history.

Of course, this history is stored in memory, so it should probably be used sparingly, but I think it's a great feature for inclusion.
