Feature request: optionally log all start/pause in workspace directory

[dimvic]

Similar to #26, it would be nice if the plugin could record activity in the workspace directory. This log could be per jetbrains user account or machine id and include current branch so that these files can be commited to VCS.

This would require no internet connection and should be quite resilient to crashes if entries are logged as they happen.

This would allow for drilling into time worked using external apps, generation of analytics/charts and would be most useful for billing per time worked and reviewing activity.

example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<darkyen version="1">
    <times account="dimvic" machine_id="fb152ebd-a350-4a3d-a9f2-1a9c097bcec2">
        <time branch="feature/whatever" type="active" value="1549" logged_at="1592911080"/>
        <time branch="hotfix/whatever" type="counted-in" value="382" logged_at="1592915321"/>
    </times>
</darkyen>

I don't know. This kind of features is too niche and at the same time too large for this plugin. I'll leave this open, so that others can say what they think, but I don't plan on implementing this soon.
