DACH-Support Discord/Steem Bridge - Added logging functionality

New Features

• What feature(s) did you add?

Added a basic logging functionality that makes it possible to see problems occuring or help users when they have problems executing commands.
This also is a helpful tool for the other Admins to check upon.
This can also be used further to enhance the user experience with the bot by eliminating the root causes of standard problems as well as improve stability by being able to have more informations in case of a unexpected shutdown of the program.
This is how the logfile is currently looking like:

• How did you implement it/them?

I added the logging functionality by directly using the logging module that python brings along by simply importing it.

import logging

logger = logging.getLogger("DachBot")
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

formatter = logging.Formatter("%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s")

logHandler = logging.FileHandler("Dachbot.log")
logHandler.setLevel(logging.INFO)
logHandler.setFormatter(formatter)
logger.addHandler(logHandler)

After that Iam using commands like

logger.info("information to log")

to create entries in the logfile.

This is solving one of the issues currently listed on Github.
