A logger class for Ignis

A logger class for Ignis
IgnisLogger is a like any other `logging.Logger` object except it has an additional method, [`log_to_file()`](qiskit.ignis.logging.IgnisLogger#log_to_file "qiskit.ignis.logging.IgnisLogger.log_to_file"), used to log data in the form of key:value pairs to a log file. Logging configuration is performed via a configuration file and is handled by IgnisLogging.
