WP_DEBUG_LOG value is not honored #5474

Bug Report

• Yes, I reviewed the contribution guidelines.
• Yes, more specifically, I reviewed the guidelines on how to write clear bug reports.

Describe the current, buggy behavior

The WP_DEBUG_LOG constant can be defined as a string in order to customize the log file path.
wp-cli completely ignores this case and always logs to WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/debug.log'.

Describe how other contributors can replicate this bug

Given I configure wordpress like this:

// wp-config.php
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', '/tmp/wordpress.log');

And I register the following command:

// register this somewhere
if (defined('WP_CLI')) {
  \WP_CLI::add_command('log-test', function() {
    trigger_error('This should log to /tmp/wordpress.log', E_USER_WARNING);
  });
}

When I run the following commands in a shell:

export WP_CONTENT_DIR='/path/to/wp-content'
# Clear existing logs
echo '' > /tmp/wordpress.log
echo '' > "${WP_CONTENT_DIR}/debug.log"
# Run wp-cli
wp-cli.phar log-test
# Check log output
echo 'Logs to my custom log file ?'
grep -q 'PHP Warning' /tmp/wordpress.log && echo 'yes' || echo 'no'
echo 'Logs to the default log file ?'
grep -q 'PHP Warning' "${WP_CONTENT_DIR}/debug.log" && echo 'yes' || echo 'no'

Then I can see:

Logs to my custom log file ?
no
Logs to the default log file ?
yes

Describe what you expect as the correct outcome

The output of aforementioned steps should be:

Logs to my custom log file ?
yes
Logs to the default log file ?
no

Provide a possible solution

The offending line should be changed to something like:

ini_set( 'error_log', is_string(WP_DEBUG_LOG) ? WP_DEBUG_LOG :  WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/debug.log' );
