Logging changes

If you specify a log file in your configuration, it will now be used, and nothing
should appear different for you. If, however, you do not specify a log file, the
default behavior is to log to both STDOUT and STDERR, with the streams split.
This is the new behavior. If you do not want this, you must specify a log file
in your configuration.

$ python run_script.py --loglevel DEBUG test-stderr 1>stdout.log 2>stderr.log

This will log all output to stdout.log and all errors to stderr.log.

$ cat stdout.log
DEBUG: Overriding configuration file setting loglevel=INFO with command-line option loglevel=DEBUG

2025-03-06 17:53:01,038 INFO          es_client.commands            test_stderr:132  This is an info message

Changes

  test-stderr to commands.py and cli_example.py to demonstrate the new
  behavior.
• Updated defaults.py to have a default LOGFORMAT of default.
