Make a standardized Logger object and config

[phicks22]

The logger is in every class in the same way. These are four lines in each class __init__ function that could be a single line standardized across all classes that use the logger.

if logger is None:
  logger = setup_logger(__name__, level=loglevel, log_dir=logdir, console=console)
self.logger = logger
self.verbose = verbose

Additionally, writing entries in this logger requires a verbosity check inside the class for each chunk of logging entries. This makes the code ugly. It would be great if the verbosity checks are handled within a custom logging class.

Instead of:

if some_check:
  if verbose:
    logger.info("message")
  some_function()

Just have:

if some_check:
  logger.info("message")
  some_function()

Where the verbosity check would occur in the logger class.
