[Pulp-dev] Proposal to change default logging to console in Pulp 3

[Eric Helms]

You actually can run with console logging today. There is a bug where if
you are in an environment without syslog and enable console logging you
will get errors, see https://pulp.plan.io/issues/3879

Since background running typically translates to systemd based, perhaps
considering making logging type configurable as an environment variable or
command line option to set it per service. For example, perhaps you want to
run workers in the background but the main application server in your
console?
