Convert from logrus to zerolog

[JordanSussman]

We should probably start thinking of moving away from logrus in favor of zerolog for our Golang projects going forward. ZL is supposed to be faster, and have more functionality but IMO the big win is not having to worry about the Sirupsen sirupsen import collision that happens.

The performance benefits look to be somewhat sizable (pun intended) too

Yes, we have used zerolog elsewhere before - i had no issues with it

Hi @wass3r, is this issue still available to work on? If so, I would be interested to work on this issue.

@alankan886 yes, it is. i think the dust settled a bit on the Sirupsen issue, but still interested in seeing this happen 👍

Hey @wass3r, I added the PR. I do want to point out that I removed logJSON from the bot model since zerolog is JSON log by default. But if you want prettier logging similar to logrus, zerolog does have zerolog.ConsoleWriter that can achieve that by sacrificing performance (not sure by how much).

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns, thank you!
