Pre-Release 4.1.0-beta1

This pre-release contains the result of a lot of code cleanup on several files and the addition of a proper logging paradigm, which should aid in tracking down bugs.

None of the code cleanups should change actual program behaviour, but as we don't yet have the code in a state to have proper tests it's possible we've broken something.

• EDMC.py now uses proper logging and has a new --loglevel command-line argument. See EDMC.py -h for the possible values. It defaults to 'INFO', which, unless there's an error, should yield the same output as before.
• EDMarketConnector has a new 'Loglevel' setting on the 'Configuration' tab to change the loglevel. Default is 'INFO' and advised for normal use. If reporting a bug it will be very helpful to change this to 'DEBUG' and then reproduce the bug.
• Both programs not only log to their old locations (console for EDMC, and %TEMP%\EDMarketConnector.log for the main application), but now also to a size-limited and rotated logfile inside the folder %TEMP%\EDMarketConnector\.
  1. A new file is only started if/when it reaches the 1 MiB size limit.
  2. We'll keep at most 10 backups of each file, so the maximum disk space used by this will be 22 MiB.
  3. The base filename inside there is EDMarketConnector.log for the main program and EDMC.log for the command-line program.
  4. Only actually logged output goes to these files, which currently is far from all the traditional output that goes to the old file/console.
