I hate how logs are. Now they're better™??

Changes

Implemented our own FileHandler-like system
Logs are now tag_date_time_count.log
- tag is specified when making the FileLogHandler instance (slimevr-server to be more descriptive)
- date_time is the date and time from when you started the server, this could be changed but I think this makes the most sense
- count is the file chunk from the specified limit
Logs can be limited any variation of:
- Current file size (default: 25000000 (25 MB))
- Collective file count (default: 2)
- Collective file size (default: -1 (disabled))
Logs over the limits are deleted by the earliest file, found by parsing file names
No more log_last_0.log.lck, log_last_0.log.1, or log_last_0.log.1.lck left sitting around
No more losing old logs the second you launch a new server instance!
- Collective file size could be very useful for storing a reasonably sized history of logs to help with debugging user issues, perhaps we could try using it?

Examples

Splitting with 2 count limit

Cumulative file size with splitting
