Does PMD have a valid point here in asking to use a logger instead of plain write to console?

PathManager sometimes does stuff like this I wouldn't do elsewhere because it's so early in the boot sequence. Do you use the logger while initializing the object that's responsible for providing getLogPath?
(maybe? like, it'll still print WARN and ERROR to the console, right? idk)

I would hope that the logger setup works for whatever code we write "afterwards", including the path manager and all that - but I'm not sure about that either.
No need to change this right now in this PR, but maybe we can keep it in mind/try it out in the future.

How to test
In your Terasology home directory, replace
cachedModuleswith a symlink. For exampleMake sure you can still start the game and that it is able to load modules.
