Observability: Add structured logging across scraper modules #60

Description

@MozzamShahid

File / lines: All src/gmaps_scraper/*.py target modules

Problem: None of scraper.py, place_scraper.py, llm.py, or debug_dump.py import or use the logging module. Errors are either raised, stored in diagnostics, or swallowed. Operators cannot observe mode selection, fallback decisions, retry attempts, consent handling, swallowed HTTP/LLM errors, or timeout budget usage.

Suggested fix:

  1. Add module-level loggers (e.g., logger = logging.getLogger("gmaps_scraper.scraper")).
  2. Emit INFO for mode selection and fallback, WARNING for swallowed transient errors and retries, and ERROR for unrecoverable failures.
  3. Include source_url, resolved_url, and attempt counters in log messages.
  4. Keep log messages off the default stdout JSON output (write to stderr or use Python logging defaults).

Difficulty: medium
Impact: High — dramatically improves incident response and operator observability.
