better logging

[cpg]

at the moment the log at /var/log/amahi-anywhere.log is fairly basic. i think we tried to use a fairly standard "apache-like" logging. some features would make it more useful.

• what is the origin of the request (e.g. local IP, remote IP, or at a minimum local/remote)
• no session information should appear on it. some calls still have that and it should be stripped
• as we work on NAUs, we will probably need to record the user (there are ways to do that in typical logs, but we're not appearing to have a place for that at the moment)
• we also should log things like denied accesses

Should we split the access log and error log into 2 files? like access.log and error.log.

That would be a good idea @iPeven, just like nginx or apache.

I think we can use some good logging tools for that. There is one called logrus. It has multiple logging levels and can also store logs in proper JSON format which can be useful for serving the logs to the user on the dashboard.
