pkg/log: ability for debug logs (#1689)
* pkg/log: ability for debug logs When the debug plugin is enabled all log.Debug calls will print to standard; if not there are a noop (almost). The log package wraps some standard log functions as well, so just replacing "log" with "plugin/pkg/log" should be enough to use this package. * docs * Add docs * lint * Test fallthrough to log pkg as well * simple package - up test coverage * add other log levels as well * update docs

## Logging
|
||||
|
||||
If your plugin needs to output a log line you should use the `log` package. CoreDNS does not
|
||||
implement log levels. The standard way of outputing is: `log.Printf("[LEVEL] ...")`, and LEVEL
|
||||
can be: `INFO`, `WARNING` or `ERROR`.
|
||||
If your plugin needs to output a log line you should use the `plugin/pkg/log` package. This package
|
||||
implements log levels. The standard way of outputting is: `log.Info` for info level messages. The
|
||||
levels available are `log.Info`, `log.Warning`, `log.Error`, `log.Debug`. Each of these also has
|
||||
a `f` variant.
|
||||
|
||||
In general, logging should be left to the higher layers by returning an error. However, if there is
|
||||
a reason to consume the error but notify the user, then logging in the plugin can be acceptable.

a reason to consume the error and notify the user, then logging in the plugin itself can be

acceptable. The `Debug*` functions only output something when the *debug* plugin is loaded in the

server.
