#3233: Make the VisiTor scripts accept more web log formats

The [https://metrics.torproject.org/tools.html#visitor VisiTor] scripts
(both Java and Python) parse a web server log and the exit list archives
to tell how many of the requests come from Tor users. They currently
require Apache's combined log format (`"%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b
\"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-agent}i\""`) as input. If users have a different
format, they need to transform their log to said format before passing it
to VisiTor.
We should also support Apache's common log format (`"%h %l %u %t \"%r\"
%>s %b"`). This format doesn't have the User-agent string and can
therefore not detect Torbutton users. But knowing whether users connect
via the Tor network, with or without Torbutton, can still be a useful
result.
Are there further commonly used web log formats that we should support?
Setting priority to minor, because I haven't heard of many VisiTor users
lately.
