Add option to enabling writing logs to a file

[Maxi-Mega]

I have two suggestions regarding the logging of the Gate proxy:

• It would be nice to have the possibility to choose what we want in the logs. For example, in production I don't think the path of the file and the line from which the logger was called is any useful information. Maybe the ability to choose the format of the date would be interesting too, for instance if we want to be able to process the logs with an other application... which leads us to the second point.
• Save the logs to a file, like any regular Minecraft proxy or server. For now, the only way I found to do that is to redirect manually the program outputs to a file like so: ./gate > logs.txt 2>&1, but color codes are not supported and render like this: �[34m.

Thanks for your reading

On a related note, the logging library github.com/go-logr/logr is now on v1 (no longer v0) which broke the build when I naively updated my transient dependencies 😅

Hello, you can always make use of

gate/pkg/runtime/logr/log.go

Line 45 in ee91199

func SetLogger(l Logger) {

Or setup a Gate instance specifying your own Logger

gate/pkg/gate/gate.go

Line 37 in ee91199

Logger logr.Logger
