Christoph Heiss 22de6e5f9f tui: install_progress: write low-level non-JSON messages to separate file
The low-level installer prints quite a few messages during the install
to its stdout which are not JSON-formatted and thus parseable.

Thus catch them early and write them to `/tmp/install-low-level.log`, to
avoid polluting the log tty at /dev/tty2 with mostly useless parse
errors.

Testing/debugging

stderr redirection

If something needs to be printed for debugging (e.g. using eprintln!() or dbg!()), output redirection can be used. Open a second terminal and get the file name of the terminal using the tty command:

$ tty
/dev/pts/6

Now, simply run the installer using:

$ cargo run 2>/dev/pts/6

All stderr output will then show up in the other terminal.

Specific terminal size

To test the installer with a specific output size, the stty command can be used. For example, to set it to a standard 80x25 terminal:

$ stty columns 80 rows 25
