Update eslint config.

Taking advantage of the new LogMessageFormatter return type, the
ConsoleLogAppender logs the formatted message as-is if it is a string,
but when processing structured data inserts a string summary consisting
of the message level, scope, and message summary or method. The full
object is still logged to the console as well for inspection.

+# Overview
+
+`@jdbernard/logging` implements a simple but powerful logging system for
+JavaScript applications based on the idea of heirarchical loggers. It heavily
+inspired by the usage patterns of [log4j][], [logback][], and similar tools in other
+ecosystems.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Install the package from npm:
+```bash
+npm install @jdbernard/logging
+```
+
+Then, in your application, you can use the logging system like so:
+
+```typescript
+import { logService, ConsoleAppender, LogLevel } from '@jdbernard/logging';
+
+logService.ROOT_LOGGER.appenders.push(new ConsoleAppender(LogLevel.INFO));
+const logger = logService.getLogger('example');
+
+logger.info('Starting application');
+```
+
+## Loggers and Appenders
+
+The logging system is composed of two main components: loggers and appenders.
+Loggers are used to create log events, which are then passed to the appenders
+associated with the logger and it's parent. An appender is a function that
+takes a log event and writes it to some destination, such as the console, a
+file, or a network socket. Appenders also have a logging level threshold, which
+determines which log events are acted upon by the appender.
+
+Loggers are hierarchical, with the hierarchy defined by the logger name. When a
+log message is generated on a *Logger*, it is sent to any appenders associated
+with that logger, and then triggered on the parent logger, being sent to any of
+the parent logger's appenders, and so on up the hierarchy. Similarly, when a
+logging event is generated, it is filtered by the effective logging level of
+the logger. If there is no threshold set on the logger, the effective logging
+level is inherited from the parent logger. This pattern is explained in detail
+in the [logback documentation][effective logging level] and applies in the same
+manner to this library.
+
+Together, the cascading effective logging threshold and the upward propogation
+of log events to parent appenders allows for simple yet fine-grained control
+over the logging output of an application.
+
+## Layouts
+
+One difference from other logging libraries is the absense of layouts. Layouts
+are used in many logging libraries to format the log message before it is
+written to the appender. This requires the assumption of all logs being written
+to a text-based destination, which is not always the case for us.
+
+In this library, all logs are internally stored as structured data, defined by
+the *LogMessage* interface. Notably, the *message* field can be either a string
+or an object, allowing for the addition of arbitrary fields to be added to the
+log event.
+
+The concept of Layouts still has a place, but it has been moved to be an
+implementation detail of the appenders. *ConsoleAppender* accepts a
+*LogMessageFormatter* function allowing for formatting of the resulting
+messages written to the console. the *ApiAppender* would be an example of an
+appender for which layout would be irrelevant.
+
+Finally, notice that all of the appenders provided by this library
+automatically persist log messages as structured data, flattening the `message`
+field if it is an object. *ConsoleAppender* will write the log message as a
+JSON object, promoting fields in the `message` object to top-level fields in
+the output. For example:
+
+```typescript
+import { logService, ConsoleAppender } from '@jdbernard/logging';
+
+logService.ROOT_LOGGER.appenders.push(new ConsoleAppender('TRACE'));
+const logger = logService.getLogger('example');
+
+function someBusinessLogic() {
+  logger.debug({ method: 'someBusinessLogic', msg: 'Doing some business logic', foo: 'bar' });
+}
+
+logger.info('Starting application');
+someBusinessLogic();
+```
+
+results in the following two events logged as output to the console:
+
+```json
+{"timestamp":"2021-09-01T00:00:00.000Z","level":"INFO","scope":"example","message":"Starting application"}
+{"timestamp":"2021-09-01T00:00:00.000Z","level":"DEBUG","scope":"example","msg":"Doing some business logic","method":"someBusinessLogic","foo":"bar"}
+```
+
+Note that the field name in the structured data for string messages is
+"message". In the case of an object message, the fields are used as provided.
+Fields defined on the *LogMessage* interface are reserved and should not be
+used as keys in the message object (and will be ignored if they are). So, for
+example:
+
+```typescript
+logger.debug({ level: 'WARN', message: 'Example of ignored fields', timestamp: 'today' });
+
+results in the following event logged as output to the console (note the
+ignored `level` and `timestamp` fields from the object):
+
+```json
+{"timestamp":"2021-09-01T00:00:00.000Z","level":"DEBUG","scope":"example","message":"Example of ignored fields"}
+```
+
+This flattening behavior is implemented in the `flattenMessage` function
+exported from the `@jdbernard/logging/log-message.ts` module and is available
+for use in custom appender implemetations.
+
+As a final note, the *ConsoleAppender* has some special behavior for the ERROR
+level and *stacktrace* field when running in a web browser to take advantage of
+the console's built-in. See the documentation for the *ConsoleAppender* for
+more information.
+
+## Worked Example
+
+To illustrate the usage of the logging system and the purpose of the
+fine-grained control described above, consider the following TypeScript
+example:
+
+```typescript
+// main.ts -- Entry point of the application
+// A console appender is attached to the root logger to log all events at or
+// above the INFO level.
+logService.ROOT_LOGGER.appenders.push(new ConsoleAppender(LogLevel.INFO));
+
+// An API appender is attached to the root logger to forward all ERROR events
+// to a server-side error log collector.
+logServive.ROOT_LOGGER.appenders.push(new ApiAppender(
+  'https://api.example.com/error-logs',
+  appStore.user.sessionToken,
+  LogLevel.ERROR));
+
+const appLog = logService.getLogger('app');
+appLog.info('Starting application');
+
+// api.ts -- API implementaiton
+const apiLog = logService.getLogger('app/api');
+
+// http-client.ts -- HTTP client implementation
+const httpLog = logService.getLogger('app/api/http-client');
+```
+
+Because different parts of the application use namespaced loggers, we can
+dynamically adjust the logging level of different parts of the application
+without changing the code. For example, to increase the logging level of the
+HTTP client to DEBUG, we can add the following line to the `main.ts` file:
+
+```typescript
+logService.getLogger('app/api/http-client').setLevel(LogLevel.DEBUG);
+```
+
+Additionally, if, for some reason, we only wanted to forward the ERROR events
+from the API namespace to the server-side error log collector, we could attach
+the *ApiAppender* to the `app/api` logger instead of the root logger. This
+would allow us to log all events from both the API and HTTP client loggers to
+the API log collector, but ignore the rest of the application regardless of the
+logging level.

+ * Logger class for logging messages.
+ *
+ * Loggers are used to log messages at different levels. The levels are, in
+ * order of increasing severity: TRACE, DEBUG, LOG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL.
+ * Log messages can be logged at a specific level by calling the corresponding
+ * method on the logger instance. For example, to log a message at the INFO
+ * level, call the *info* method on the logger.
+ *
+ * Loggers have a threshold level, which is the minimum level of log message
+ * that will be logged by the logger. Log messages with a level below the
+ * threshold will be ignored. The threshold level can be set when creating a
+ * logger, or by calling the *setThreshold* method on an existing logger. If a
+ * threshold is not set, the logger will use the threshold of its parent
+ * logger.
+ *
+ * Loggers are hierarchical, with the hierarchy defined by the logger name.
+ * The heirarchy is tracked by the children: child loggers have a link to their
+ * parents, while parent loggers do not have a list of their children.
+ *
+ * When a log message is logged by a logger, it is sent to all of the appenders
+ * attached to the logger and to the parent logger. Appenders can be attached
+ * to any Logger instance, but, because of this upwards propogation, appenders
+ * are usually attached to the root logger, which is an ancestor of all loggers
+ * created by the same LogService instance.
+ *
+ * Loggers are typically created and managed by a LogService instance.  The
+ * *LogService#getLogger* method is used to get a logger by name, creating it
+ * if necessary. When creating a new logger, the parent logger is determined by
+ * the longest existing logger name that is a prefix of the new logger name.
+ * For more details, see *LogService#getLogger*.
