Write action log to support technical audits #52

As a system administrator I'd like to know what happened on a stackable 'managed' node.

An action log containing the relevant actions performed by the agent could help maintaining a comprehensible state of the nodes.

downloaded version x.y.z of software abc
extracted software abc version x.y.z into folder foo
applied default security configuration
started node as part of a cluster ...
downloaded security patch x.y.z+1 of software abc
removed node from running cluster
stopped node
started rolling update of node 3 of cluster
added node to running cluster
rolling update finished successfully ...
download new major version x+1.0.0 of software abc
applied configuration migration
started stop-the-world cluster update ...

idea: if we enforce criteria for our log levels we could say "filter the log for [INFO] messages and this will be the equivalent of an action log"
