Obviously mkcloud needs to retain the ability to output to the CLI, but the same output should also be preserved in a log file for future reference. We could use this trick.

@vuntz I got this idea from /root/manual.vuntz/runme on mkcloud1, and it seems reasonable to me to make mkcloud do it by default (just like chef-client always logs to a file). Thoughts?

This eliminates the risk of losing crucial debug output in a
long mkcloud run because you forgot to redirect to a file and
the terminal/screen/tmux scrollback buffer wasn't big enough.

Closes SUSE-Cloud#1191.

If the 'help' argument is passed, it is assumed that logging
is not required.  Otherwise, a warning is emitted if logging
is not possible due to $cloud not being set.
