Use logrus to handle logs
This commit adds the logrus module, and improves logs handling for the
entire program. Error logs are better displayed, and the log level can
be set from the configuration file.

# Public IP tracker
[![Build Status](https://drone.faercol.me/api/badges/faercol/public-ip-tracker/status.svg)](https://drone.faercol.me/faercol/public-ip-tracker)
Telegram bot that detects changes to the device's public IP. This is particularily useful when
the device is handled by an ISP that does not provide a static public IP, such as a home device.
## Features
### Automatic public IP detection and monitoring
Upon startup, the current public IP is detected, and a status message is sent to a specific Telegram
channel with the relevant information.
> Insert example message here
When running as a daemon, the program automatically monitors the current public IP adress for changes.
If the IP changes for some reason, then the new updated adress is sent to the specific Telegram
channel.

### On-demand public IP
The relevant channel is monitored during the program execution. This allows the user to send a
command to the bot in order to get the current public IP on-demand.

## Deploy
### Configuration file
For now, the program is configured through a JSON configuration file. Here is a sample :
```json
{
"telegram": {
"token": "<your_bot_token>",
"channel_id": 9999999
},
"polling_frequency": 5,
"log": {
"level": "info"
}
}
```
### Docker
You can use the provided Dockerfile to build your own image.
```bash
docker build -t public-ip-tracker .
```
You can then use the provided configuration file sample, and provide it to the program using the
`/config` volume
> I might add support for environment variables in the future.
```bash
docker run -it -v /path/to/your/dir/with/json/file:/config public-ip-tracker
```
