Lyle Hanson 0b14d92baf Document collecting log output
Redirecting stdout writes log output to that file, but this wasn't
easily discoverable.

v2 removes changes to aerc-tutorial; I was also on the fence about that,
and agree that it isn't on-topic for the tutorial.

# aerc
aerc is an email client for your terminal.
Join the IRC channel: [#aerc on irc.freenode.net](http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=aerc&uio=d4)
## Building
Install the dependencies:
- go (>=1.12)
- scdoc
Then compile aerc:
$ make
## Installation
# make install
$ aerc
On its first run, aerc will copy the default config files to `~/.config/aerc`
and show the account configuration wizard.
If you redirect stdout to a file, logging output will be written to that file:
$ aerc > log
