// Setup is used to perform setup of several logging objects:

// * A LevelFilter is used to perform filtering by log level.
// * A GatedWriter is used to buffer logs until startup UI operations are

//   destinations.
// * A LogWriter provides a mean to temporarily hook logs, such as for running
//   a command like "consul monitor".
// * An io.Writer is provided as the sink for all logs to flow to.
//
// The provided ui object will get any log messages related to setting up
// logging itself, and will also be hooked up to the gated logger. The final bool
// parameter indicates if logging was set up successfully.
