Open5gs comes with configuration support to log to a file. Since we
operate CoLTE in a systemd environment on debian/ubnuntu we can use
journald to manage logging and log rotation. Journald automatically
captures the process standard out, making these log files
unnecessary.
They can actually cause a problem in long-running systems unless some
kind of logrotate or log collection system is setup to prevent them
from growing without bound. At the time of this commit open5gs does
not do any kind of log trimming by default, and simply appends to the
files.
