Use QLoggingCategory

As far as I read QLoggingCategory is about different output categories for different stuff.
But which categories are needed?
Also are the #ifdefs needed in front of the debug outputs?

Hello, sorry for the long reply.
I suppose that we can do something like

So: one category per class.
The ifdefs in front of the debug are used to change verbosity for developer build. The dev build turns on dump of read object in json-like format.

A developer build output lools like this:

and a release debug build output for the same operation is

void CTelegramConnection::processMessagesGetDialogs(RpcProcessingContext*)
"MessagesDialogsSlice" processed as Dialogs
void CTelegramDispatcher::onMessagesDialogsReceived(
        const TLMessagesDialogs&, quint32, quint32,
        const TLInputPeer&, quint32) 1910540000 0 0 0 0 30

void CContactModel::addContact(quint32) 111222333
void CContactModel::addContact(quint32) 222333444

May be the ifdefs will be replaced in some far future, but I have no better solution yet.
