Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/lldap/lldap/issues/1335

Motivation
Readable by untrained users with barely a notion of what LDAP is.

Describe the solution you'd like
A high-level description of requests and results, without too much text (no wall of text, truncate results).

A way to drop back into the very-verbose current logs. Debug vs tracing.

Bonus points: anonymize the logs (e.g. first 8 chars of md5 of sensitive strings, emails and usernames and so on). Hard to do for custom attributes, so either anonymize all string/bytes custom attributes or disable for tracing/verbose
