Derick Eddington 1c46f19592 node: Fix `main` to print early errors
Otherwise, previously, when an error occurred before `logger::init()`
then no message about the error would be shown, because `log` ignores
messages generated before the logger is initialized.  E.g. when
`$RAD_HOME/config.json` is missing, invoking `radicle-node`
directly (i.e. not via `rad node start`) would fail without any
explanation being logged nor printed.  There also are some other
possible errors that can occur before `logger::init()` where no message
would've been shown.

The fix is to detect if the logger is enabled, which it won't be when it
hasn't been initialized, and if not then fallback to printing directly
to stderr.

To show the lower-level source of an error, like previously, and to
avoid now needing more conditionals with more format strings for all
possibilities of `err.source().is_some()` and `log_enabled!()`, the
"alternate" form (`{:#}`) of formatting `anyhow::Error` is now used.
This also introduces a change in behavior such that the entire chain of
source errors will now be shown, instead of only the first in the chain,
which seems more desirable for errors that cause fatal exiting of
`radicle-node`.  Note that this form still formats as only a single
line, like previously.

The prefix "Error: " is used for the new fallback printing, because in
this case it's not a log message (though, it might be written to the log
file), and because that prefix is consistent with how Rust errors that
cause immediate termination are usually printed directly.  For the
opposite case, the "Fatal: " prefix serves to distinguish it as being
fatal among the many other various log messages.

While it would be possible to instead return `anyhow::Result<()>` from
`main`, to achieve the printing of early errors (and exiting with
failure code), that would cause undesirable duplication, for non-early
errors that occur after `logger::init()`, of the error message where it
would be written to both the log file and to stderr which often is the
same as the log file.

Radicle Heartwood Protocol & Stack

Heartwood is the third iteration of the Radicle Protocol, a powerful peer-to-peer code collaboration and publishing stack. The repository contains a full implementation of Heartwood, complete with a user-friendly command-line interface (rad) and network daemon (radicle-node).

Radicle was designed to be a secure, decentralized and powerful alternative to code forges such as GitHub and GitLab that preserves user sovereignty and freedom.

See the Protocol Guide for an in-depth description of how Radicle works.
