Improve logging to show useful information

[jonaslagoni]

Reason/Context

The current logging output is unusable... Finding usefull information is impossible when it prints everything in objects.

I am suggesting that we try to print only a limited amount of information, that which is relevant to the function we are logging in, and never full objects.

For example when we merge models it prints out:

Found duplicate additionalItems for model. additionalItems from GitCommit merged into GithubLocationConfig <ref *1> CommonModel {
  originalInput: Draft7Schema {
    type: 'object',
    properties: Draft7Schema { type: [Draft7Schema], config: true },
    allOf: [ [Draft7Schema], [Draft7Schema] ],
    'x-modelgen-inferred-name': 'AfterAction'
  },
  type: [
    'object',  'string',
    'number',  'array',
    'boolean', 'null',
    'integer'
  ],
  properties: {
    repo: CommonModel {
      originalInput: [Draft7Schema],
      type: 'string',
      '$id': 'GithubLocationConfig_repo',
      properties: undefined,
      extend: undefined
    },
    branch: CommonModel {
      originalInput: [Draft7Schema],
      type: 'string',
      '$id': 'GithubLocationConfig_branch',
      properties: undefined,
      extend: undefined
    },
    'meta-location': CommonModel {
      originalInput: [Draft7Schema],
      type: 'string',
      '$id': 'GithubLocationConfig_meta-location',
      properties: undefined,
      extend: undefined
    },
    'package-location': CommonModel {
      originalInput: [Draft7Schema],
      type: 'string',
      '$id': 'GithubRepositoryPackage_package-location',
      properties: undefined,
      extend: undefined
    },
    script: CommonModel {
      originalInput: [Draft7Schema],
      type: 'string',
      '$id': 'PackageAction_script',
      properties: undefined,
      extend: undefined
    }
  },
  '$id': 'GithubLocationConfig',
  extend: undefined,
  additionalProperties: [Circular *1],
  additionalItems: [Circular *1]
} CommonModel {
  originalInput: Draft7Schema { 'x-modelgen-inferred-name': 'GitCommit' },
  additionalItems: <ref *1> CommonModel {
    originalInput: Draft7Schema {
      type: 'object',
      properties: [Draft7Schema],
      allOf: [Array],
      'x-modelgen-inferred-name': 'AfterAction'
    },
    type: [
      'object',  'string',
      'number',  'array',
      'boolean', 'null',
      'integer'
    ],
    properties: {
      repo: [CommonModel],
      branch: [CommonModel],
      'meta-location': [CommonModel],
      'package-location': [CommonModel],
      script: [CommonModel]
    },
    '$id': 'GithubLocationConfig',
    extend: undefined,
    additionalProperties: [Circular *1],
    additionalItems: [Circular *1]
  },
  '$id': 'GitCommit'
} Draft7Schema {
  type: 'object',
  properties: Draft7Schema {
    type: Draft7Schema {
      type: 'string',
      description: 'The type of post-action for automator to run, after action has been run',
      enum: [Array],
      'x-modelgen-inferred-name': 'AfterAction_type'
    },
    config: true
  },
  allOf: [
    Draft7Schema {
      if: [Draft7Schema],
      then: [Draft7Schema],
      'x-modelgen-inferred-name': 'AfterAction_allOf_0'
    },
    Draft7Schema {
      if: [Draft7Schema],
      then: [Draft7Schema],
      'x-modelgen-inferred-name': 'AfterAction_allOf_1'
    }
  ],
  'x-modelgen-inferred-name': 'AfterAction'
}

IMO the following is enough:

Found duplicate additionalItems for model. additionalItems from GitCommit merged into GithubLocationConfig
