Do any of the compilers we care about not support __func__ or __FUNCTION__?

I think it would be great if we could rely on

We should probably change dbghdrclass (the function that prints the
header) so the
if( state.settings.debug_prefix_timestamp ) {
clause also adds func to the output, otherwise when "debug prefix
timestamp" is
set you will not see the function name. We would also need to add an
else clause to
if( state.settings.timestamp_logs ||
state.settings.debug_prefix_timestamp) {
so the function name is printed when timestamps are not enabled.
