Document common uses of 'echo' directive, re-enable logging for 'echo'.

The 'echo' command can be used to signal information to an OpenVPN
GUI driving the openvpn core via management interface.  Which commands
exists and their syntax has so far been mostly undocumented.

Condense the long and good discussion between Selva Nair and
Jonathan K. Bullard into doc/gui-notes.txt (initial draft from
Jonathan, comments from Selva and Arne), with a pointer added
to doc/management-notes.txt.

for the details.

Re-enable logging of 'echo' statements, but only for the particular
class of messages starting with 'echo msg...'.

v2:
  incorporate feedback from Selva Nair, correct >ECHO examples

v3:
  add "msg*" support status for Windows GUI (11.22.0) and Android (Planned)
