    This function sets up the logging configuration for the script.
    It configures the log level, log format, and log handlers
    for both file and console(=shell) output.


    Parameters
    ----------
    loglevel : str or int
       Loglevels are:
         - warning (default): only print statements if something is unexpected
         - info (show more detailed progress)
         - debug (show very detailed output)
    file_path : str
         - filename to save logging messages into

    If loglevel is 'debug', save line numbers in log messages.

    Returns
    -------
    None.

    Logger instances are generally not passed around, but retrieved from the
    logging module as shown below (they are singletons).

    We provide two loggers:

    1. log = logging.getLogger('')

       This is the 'root' logger. It uses a RichHandler if rich is available for
       output to the shell, otherwise plain text.

       Typical use:

       log.debug("...")
       log.info("...")
       log.warn("...")

       Equivalent to

       logging.debug("...")
       logging.info("...")

    2. print_log = logging.getlogger('print')

       This uses the logging module to issue the message, but prints without
       any further markup (i.e. no date, loglevel, line number, etc). Think
       PRINT via the LOGging module.

       We use this as a replacement for the print function (i.e. for messages
       that should not be affected by logging levels, and which should always
       be printed).

       Typical and intended use:

       print_log.info("Available toolchains are ...")

       The major difference from the normal print command is that the output
       will be send to the stdout (as for print) AND the file with name
       filename, so that these messages appear in the log file together with
       normal log output.
