The document grew a bit too much explaining all the mistakes we've seen
the users do when configuring logging. Add a section distilling the
configuration of the most basic scenario which we can refer to when
upstream issues are reported. The scenario is for a runtime setting of
logging into a file applied to the 'virtqemud' daemon.

virt-admin to disable the behaviour if needed.

Rationale for the changes:
* access can be filtered out entirely, as nothing very
interesting is produced by the only other component in the
same package (access.accessdriverpolkit);
* util.udev doesn't exist.
Related filters are also more consistently grouped together.
