 Often enough when users enable WP_DEBUG they still do not get any good
 information because most hosts have display_errors set to Off and some
 times do not have access to the error logs.

 Enabling display_errors when WP_DEBUG is true would make troubleshooting
 much easier.

 We can add a constant for disabling display_errors for those people that
 would rather just have the errors sent to the globally defined error log
 file.

 In addition we will add another constant to enable logging to a log file
 called debug.log.

 New contants:
  * WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY - If not defined or defined as true it will set
 display_errors to On.  If set to false it will set display_errors to Off.
 This sets the default behavior with WP_DEBUG to display errors.
  * WP_DEBUG_LOG - If defined and set to true this will log to a file in
 ABSPATH called debug.log.  Set to false or do not define to disable
 logging to this file.

 The above constants will only take effect if WP_DEBUG is defined and set
 to true.
