> Problems with current proton logging:
>  * There are multiple logging systems that are not connected
>  - {{pn_log_*}} is used for some things that are not connected to an AMQP
>  connection (but not all things)
>  - pn_transport_t has its own logging system that is the major logging
>  system in proton, with an {{pn_transport_logf()}} and friends API and an
>  ability to sink the log its output log messages using
> {{pn_transport_set_tracer()}}. However not everything that might need to
>  log messages is connected to a {{pn_transport_t}} so it makes a lot more
>  sense for logging to be its own system that the {{pn_transport_t}} is
>  connected to rather than the other way around.
>  * The logging only has a set of vague somewhat amorphous trace flags to
>  decide which messages get logged. Currently the only coherent use for
>  this subsystem is to set the environment variable {{PN_TRACE_FRM}} to get
>  AMQP frame traces. There are other environment variable which produce
>  output (and flags can be set programmatically by client programs) but
>  which flags produce what output is not very systematic. There is no way
>  to output only logging related to SSL/TLS for example.
>  * The callback function that an application can attach to receive the
>  log messages only gets the message and maybe the {{pn_transport_t}} that is
>  associated, but no indication of the severity or what pert of the
>  library it came from.
