[pve-devel] [PATCH proxmox-perl-rs] initialize logging when shared library is loaded

[Lukas Wagner <l.wagner@proxmox.com>]

Before, all calls to the log::* macros did not produce any output.
This commit sets up logging by hooking into module loading/bootstraping
process to call a single exported function `setup_logging`. The function
initializes env_logger with its default settings. The benefit of this
approach is that no changes of client-side Perl code is required.

Not sure if this is the best/cleanest approach for this,
seems to work just fine though.
