#13594: init_from_settings does not allow repeated calls

------------------------------+-----------------------------
 I have an application that causes init_from_settings to be called
 repeatedly, which does not quite work as I expected.

 I noticed that this causes memory use to grow, presumably because old
 sinks are not removed and new sinks are added which each call, which (to
 me) is unexpected behaviour. I understand that sinks can be removed by
 calling remove_all_sinks() before (re)initialization, but it would be much
 nicer when init_from_settings would just configure the logging system
 'from scratch' (I am not currently sure that I can fully revert the system
 to an uninitialized state before calling init_from_settings).
