Consider using os_log instead for writing to file #64

Description

@nirs

Advantages:

  • timestamps
  • can view the logs using Console.app
  • root not needed to view the log
  • we can simplify the logging macros added in Improve logging #46

Disadvantages:

  • using a log file is easier
  • does not work when running interactively (e.g. during debugging)
  • does not work for testing socket_vmnet, running it from a script and testing the output Changed error code with v1.2.0  #99
  • may not work when socket_vmnet is run via another program that want to manage its logs (e..g lima, saving logs to ~/.lima/_network/socket_vment*.log

It can work if we add an option to opt-int, which can be used in the launchd service.
