IPC transport

• mainConsole and rendererConsole are combined into ipc transport

3.0.0

• Now IPC is used only for some transports, which are disabled for a packaged application. So now electron-log works using almost the same way in the main and renderer processes. The reason - IPC is pretty slow and can freeze an application when there are a lot of calls.

• New feature: hooks.
• New feature: log file clearing.
• New feature: colors support.
• New feature: errors catching.

• Change a log message object. See updated Override transport section if you use custom transport.
• Now it's not possible to configure transports from a renderer process, only from the main.
• To disable a transport set its level to false.
• Fix problems when this package is used from a renderer process.
• Add Typescript definitions.
