be9d4f04 Fix multiline wallet cli output with readline (Jethro Grassie)
readline_buffer: fix start/stop threads being starved by process
process could run for quite some time re-acquiring the process
lock, leaving start/stop starving. Yielding after unlock in
process is much better but doesn't seem to be enough to reliably
yield, so we sleep for a millisecond, which should be transparent
for user input anyway.

monero-wallet-cli commands which have multine output sometimes causes
issues with the readline support. This patch fixes show_transfers,
payments and incoming_transfers.
It'd eat up a core constantly, due to spending its time jumping
back and forth between userland and kernel. We now wait for up
to a millisecond in kernel, which will be transparent to the user
and drop to idle most of the time.
This PR adds readline support to the daemon and monero-wallet-cli. Only
GNU readline is supported (e.g. not libedit) and there are cmake checks
to ensure this.
There is a cmake variable, Readline_ROOT_DIR that can specify a
directory to find readline, otherwise some default paths are searched.
There is also a cmake option, USE_READLINE, that defaults to ON. If set
to ON, if readline is not found, the build continues but without
readline support.
One negative side effect of using readline is that the color prompt in
the wallet-cli now has no color and just uses terminal default. I know
how to fix this but it's quite a big change so will tackle another time.
- Performance improvements
- Added `span` for zero-copy pointer+length arguments
- Added `std::ostream` overload for direct writing to output buffers
- Removal of unused `string_tools::buff_to_hex`
Because some people just won't even try to read what is written
and freak out because the word FATAL is in here, despite the
context making it clear it's not an error.
using the MONERO_LOG_FORMAT environment variable.

This replaces the epee and data_loggers logging systems with
a single one, and also adds filename:line and explicit severity
levels. Categories may be defined, and logging severity set
by category (or set of categories). epee style 0-4 log level
maps to a sensible severity configuration. Log files now also
rotate when reaching 100 MB.
To select which logs to output, use the MONERO_LOGS environment
variable, with a comma separated list of categories (globs are
supported), with their requested severity level after a colon.
If a log matches more than one such setting, the last one in
the configuration string applies. A few examples:
This one is (mostly) silent, only outputting fatal errors:
MONERO_LOGS=*:FATAL
This one is very verbose:
MONERO_LOGS=*:TRACE
This one is totally silent (logwise):
MONERO_LOGS=""
This one outputs all errors and warnings, except for the
"verify" category, which prints just fatal errors (the verify
category is used for logs about incoming transactions and
blocks, and it is expected that some/many will fail to verify,
hence we don't want the spam):
MONERO_LOGS=*:WARNING,verify:FATAL
Log levels are, in decreasing order of priority:
FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE
Subcategories may be added using prefixes and globs. This
example will output net.p2p logs at the TRACE level, but all
other net* logs only at INFO:
MONERO_LOGS=*:ERROR,net*:INFO,net.p2p:TRACE
Logs which are intended for the user (which Monero was using
a lot through epee, but really isn't a nice way to go things)
should use the "global" category. There are a few helper macros
for using this category, eg: MGINFO("this shows up by default")
or MGINFO_RED("this is red"), to try to keep a similar look
and feel for now.
Existing epee log macros still exist, and map to the new log
levels, but since they're used as a "user facing" UI element
as much as a logging system, they often don't map well to log
severities (ie, a log level 0 log may be an error, or may be
something we want the user to see, such as an important info).
In those cases, I tried to use the new macros. In other cases,
I left the existing macros in. When modifying logs, it is
probably best to switch to the new macros with explicit levels.
The --log-level options and set_log commands now also accept
category settings, in addition to the epee style log levels.
