Fixed memory error with SHLogger & spdlog

The logger needs to be registered outside the library. As such, a macro SHLOG_REGISTER has been added, as well as a variable to the actual logger. The logger needs to be passed into the macro anywhere outside the library after it has been initialised to work on the dll. This has already been done right before the application runs.
