Configure CNI plugin to log to a file

[mateiidavid]

Our CNI plugin currently only logs to stderr:

linkerd2/cni-plugin/main.go

Lines 94 to 95 in d76c420

	// Must log to Stderr because the CNI runtime uses Stdout as its state
	logrus.SetOutput(os.Stderr)

CNI plugins run directly on the host, which makes it hard to access log -- and impossible to do through kubectl logs -- and operators would have to rely on reading through the kubelet log which contains a lot of verbosity.

We should dump the logs into a file (either by default or through an option) to make it easier for people to collect logs when something goes wrong. We should be consistent with other CNI implementations, such as Calico, and save logs to /var/log/linkerd-cni.

As an implementation idea, I'd consider something like:

-       logrus.SetOutput(os.Stderr)
+       f, err := os.OpenFile("/var/log/linkerd-cni", os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CREATE, 0755)
+       if err != nil {
+               panic("failed to create file")
+       }
+       logw := io.MultiWriter(os.Stderr, f)
+       logrus.SetOutput(logw)
