Instantiate a new logger that is used during pytest initialization /
configuration. This logging isn't handled by pytest itself, since it
happens outside of any tests or fixtures.
Root logger can't be reused for this purpose, because that would
duplicate the logs. Instead, create a conftest-specific logger for this
purpose.
Unfortunately, this introduces another log file,
pytest.conftest.log.txt, which contains only the logging from pytest
initialization. However, unless one is debugging the runner /
environment, there should be no need to investigate this file.
