Title: Xml logfile output

This implements an XML logfile output whenever data is logged. This file is completely self-contained, human readable, and importable by any XML parser. The advantages are discussed in #111, but to sum up here this improves archival qualities, since old versions of GCS will not be necessary in order to decode the binary stream. This is especially important if the logfile was generated with a branch that is no longer available, like a private branch with changed UAVOs.

As per a conversation several months ago with @solidgoldbomb, this file does not replace the binary stream but sits side by side. It reuses the original path and filename and adds ".xml" to the end.

Example logfile output:
```

```

Fixes 111.
