Not logging in 'prepare' method

[teresanunez]

Hi, the logging in a file (activated via the environment variable LogMacro) only affects to the run method of the macro, but not to the prepare one. What is done in prepare is not in the logging file. This also makes that if a macro is called from the prepare method of another macro, this called macro is also not logged. These both facts can be reproduced implementing the prepare method of a macro with same spock printout and running a macro from there. It happens in the python2 and python3 versions of sardana.

Today we looked at it quickly with Teresa and here are the first ideas on how to implement it:

• the LogMacroManager is currently instantiated and enabled/disabled in MacroExecutor.runMacro()
• to include the Macro.prepare() within the scope covered by the LogMacroManager we would need to enable it already in MacroExecutor.__runXMLMacro()
• the problem is that MacroExecutor._prepareXMLMacro() contains Macro object creation and call to the Macro.prepare(). This method would need to be split in two so we have the Macro object creaeted before in order to pass it to the LogMacroManager
