replacing CI's log_message global function in common.php

All functions in Common.php are wrapped with checks to see if the function exists. So the easiest way to override those methods is to modify index.php to load your file with the replacement functions. This will load your functions first, since the other functions are not loaded until the CodeIgniter.php file is loaded at the bottom of the index.php file.
