Rewrite Cobbler's clogger.py module to be a wrapper for the Python stdlib logging.Logger class while keeping almost the same behavior. Add in a format that provides more traceback information. Note line #39 should be super(Logger, self).__init__(__name__, level) but I was getting a weird exception I did not want to dig into.

clogger.py

"""
Python standard logging doesn't super-intelligent and won't expose filehandles,
which we want.  So we're not using it.
