Renamed logging_util.h to util.h and moved (improved) Owning<> and lookup() there
Because these fall outside of SyncJob and Event context, respectively. In addition, Owning<> has gained a move assignment operator (because we have a move constructor) and assign() convenience method to take ownership over an existing container; also, Owning<>::release() is done the right way now (the previous version was copying the return value to a new container instead of releasing the old container).

- * @brief Lookup a value by a key in a varargs list
- *
- * The below overloaded function template takes the value of its first
- * argument (selector) as a key and searches for it in the key-value map
- * passed in a varargs list (every next pair of arguments forms a key-value
- * pair). If a match is found, the respective value is returned; otherwise,
- * the last value (fallback) is returned.
- *
- * All options should be of the same type or implicitly castable to the
- * type of the first option. Note that pointers to methods of different
- * classes are of different object types, in particular.
- *
- * Below is an example of usage to select a parser depending on contents of
- * a JSON object:
- * {@code
- * auto parser = lookup(obj.value["type"].toString(),
- * "type1", fn1,
- * "type2", fn2,
- * fallbackFn);
- * parser(obj);
- * }
- *
- * The implementation is based on tail recursion; every recursion step
- * removes 2 arguments (match and option). There's no selector value for the
- * fallback option (the last one); therefore, the total number of lookup()
- * arguments should be even: selector + n key-value pairs + fallback
- *
- * @note Beware of calling lookup() with a <code>const char*</code> selector
- * (the first parameter) - most likely it won't do what you expect because
- * of shallow comparison.
