Replace `console.log` with `electron-log`, so that the informational messages are printed both to stdout and the log file. Signed-off-by: Miroslav Bajtoš <oss@bajtos.net>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
My intention here is to make it easier to locate the electron-log file when troubleshooting problems. I am using console.log instead of electron-log because it feels redundant to log the filename of the log file into that log file.
Let me know if you thing otherwise!

Notice the deprecation warning about
findLogPath(). The documentation does not explain what we should use instead offindLogPath()🙁With my changes in place, we can improve our UI for reporting problems and allow users to send their electron-log file, too. Perhaps in addition to the Saturn log file. Or we can change the Saturn Module to log messages using electron-log, so that we have everything in one place. Either way, that's out of scope of my PR.
