Toggle persistent_log in GUI

[maltfield]

This issue will track the effort to update the GUI to let the user choose to change the config option persistent_log between True and False

Problem

Background: after we added the soft-shutdown trigger to the app in v0.7.0 (#14), it doesn't really help to have a temporary log. If there was some issue encountered, then the log was lost when the system shutdown. So, in #34 we added an option to change the path of the buskill debug log to the DATA_DIR if persistent_log is True in the config file (added in #16)

However, currently the user has to manually edit the config file to enable persistent_log. We should probably let our users change this in the GUI's Settings.

Solution

Under the Settings Menu, a new option should be available, named Persist Log. This should be a toggle between True and False.

We should also probably make the initial initialization of the BusKill config file (config.ini) add the line:

persistent_log = False

...because currently it defaults to False, but it would be more "user friendly" if the option was present when the user edits the config file manually -- so they can clearly see that it's an option that's available.

@Raihan93-coder would you be interested in implementing this feature?

Yes, I will be interested in implementing this feature but I have a doubt

Since logging is initialized very early in main.py before the GUI is launched, should changing the persistent_log setting in the GUI only affect future launches of BusKill?

Or would you like the logging destination to be reconfigured immediately when the user toggles the option in Settings? (Which I think will be really hard to implement)
