The standard library version of an `RwLock` may get poisoned if a thread
panics that holds a write lock. The `RwLock` from parking_lot [1] does
not get poisoned it instead released the lock on a panic. This allows us
to simplify the `ProgressOutput` API since it no longer returns any
errors. No more panics can occur on `ProgressOutput::drop()`. The
`Error` enum can thus be simplified as well because there is no need to
convert `PoisonErrors` anymore.

This commit does a few things:
- Sets up the ability to log information based off log level
- Figures out where to log the file
- Starts logging information in the program
As this is a first pass the logging is good enough to know where things
went wrong, but we can expand on this in the future to log many many
things. We just now have an initial implementation. The log is written
out to a file that can be read by the user if they pass in -v, -vv, etc.
where each v is an extra level of logging.
Remove quicli from the code base. It's a fantastic library to get
started, but in order to implement logging as well as just maintaining
the library in general it was easier to remove it and continue work
without it. While we were going to remove it in 0.4 we found it easier
to remove now to implement logging.
This commit allows us to have a global progress bar to write data to
giving us the following benefits:
- Consistent ways to handle types of messages such as errors and
warnings
- Easy interface to add progress bars of various types
- Easy to maintain, add new types of bars, or more while encapsulating
the login in a single module
