custom logger

[plebhash]

background

protocols crates should use as little external dependencies as possible.

problem

currently, the following crates use tracing as an external dependency:

• sv1_api
• binary_sv2
• codec_sv2
• roles_logic_sv2

solution

write a custom logger to replace tracing

reference from rust-lightning: https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning/blob/f94bf9861289ce6a75fd7d5856d736a2f966a619/lightning/src/util/logger.rs#L165

tracing is kinda of the standard for logging, every project that will use the library will very likely expect to have log reported by tracing, is also audited by google. https://github.com/google/rust-crate-audits/blob/main/manual-sources/google3-audits.toml#L1383

I don't think that we should remove it, if there is a way to do that without disrupting the user experience could make sense. If not no.
