Nice work!
I like the idea, but would prefer the defaults to keep the code contained (with only simple logfile logging).
But having the option to easily enable syslog or journald options would be great.
Don't forget to add documentation in the compile sections of the README.md

Avoids unnecessary recompilation
See: #535 The logger now takes a formatting string and a number of variable arguments according to the `fmt` spec
Moving the definition of the FMT_HEADER_ONLY macro from a file to the compiler makes all code relying on this macro independent of a single file Also cleanup some unused fmt includes
If the BTOP_LOG_LEVEL is found in the environment it is parsed and overwrites the current configured log level. The --debug switch still has precedence The value of BTOP_LOG_LEVEL must match one of `Logger::log_levels` fields, being case insensitive
This commit allows for btop to log to either syslog(3) or systemd's journal
Using std::call_once instead of boolean Define some log file specific variables only if syslog or journald are not used Rename the privilege RAII wrapper and delete all operators and constructors

This PR improves the logger in a few ways:
fmt, See [REQUEST] Continued implementation of fmtlib #535fmt::formatfmt::printinstead ofstd::ofstreamFMT_HEADER_ONLYis now defined by Make and passed to the compiler. Other files including<fmt/*.h>are now independent of the definition inbtop_tools.hpp<syslog.h>is present, btop will log it's messages theremake ENABLE_JOURNALD=truebtop can directly log to journald. This can log interesting metadata like the source file location for each messageBTOP_LOG_LEVELenvironment variable and set the log level accordinglyOn systemd systems, with either
