Decide which logging tool to use

[stevenzeck]

Ideas below. This would be used across all unibeautify projects.

https://github.com/winstonjs/winston (mind as well use the 3.0.0 RC)

Winston is good. I've recently used https://github.com/log4js-node/log4js-node as well.

[stevenzeck]

Winston 3.x also has native typings, no having to use @types.

[Glavin001]

That is a massive selling point 👍

[stevenzeck]

Does log4js-node output to the console as well without the need to do event listeners and/or callbacks?

[Glavin001]

log4js-node uses appenders: https://log4js-node.github.io/log4js-node/appenders.html

I have a POC in https://github.com/szeck87/atom-beautify/blob/unibeautify/src/logger.ts. It's messy, I hope it can be cleaned up once the typings for Winston 3.x are available. I'm disappointed there isn't a standard transport to output to console.log, instead it looks to use process.stdout.write.

I'm also not sure how to invoke the import with the filename/path of the file that is doing the import to include in the log output. @Glavin001 I'll probably definitely need help with that.
