Description

The font-patcher always logs the debug messages in a file.
That fails when fontforge is an AppImage (and maybe when we are a docker image?)

This PR drops that feature. Logging to file has to be explicitly requested with a parameter to the --debug option.

Introduce parameter to --debug option.
0 = no debug output
1 = log to file only (previously always selected)
2 = log to stdout only
3 = log to file and stdout (previous default for --debug)

Just specifying --default equals now --debug 2.
The gotta-patch-em runs now with --debug 1.

[why]
When font-patcher is on a read only filesystem the pacher can not run.
This is for example the case when fontforge is a AppImage.

[how]
Try if the logfile can be written, and if not disable logging into a
file.

[why]
Maybe it is not a good idea to always create the log file, as most
people will never look into it. The main reason for it was the
gotta-patch-em script so that one can check after lots of runs what the
details were.

[how]
Introduce parameter to --debug option.
0 = no debug output
1 = log to file only (previously always selected)
2 = log to stdout only
3 = log to file and stdout (previous default for --debug)

Just specifying --default equals now --debug 2.
