So the caller can check log events at the desired level instead of
being limited to the default level log.INFO

(cherry picked from commit e2137a3147)
## ⚠️ Breaking
The `log.<mode>.<logger>` style config has been dropped. If you used it,
please check the new config manual & app.example.ini to make your
instance output logs as expected.
Although many legacy options still work, it's encouraged to upgrade to
the new options.
The SMTP logger is deleted because SMTP is not suitable to collect logs.
If you have manually configured Gitea log options, please confirm the
logger system works as expected after upgrading.
## Description
Close #12082 and maybe more log-related issues, resolve some related
FIXMEs in old code (which seems unfixable before)
Just like rewriting queue #24505 : make code maintainable, clear legacy
bugs, and add the ability to support more writers (eg: JSON, structured
log)
There is a new document (with examples): `logging-config.en-us.md`
This PR is safer than the queue rewriting, because it's just for
logging, it won't break other logic.
## The old problems
The logging system is quite old and difficult to maintain:
* Unclear concepts: Logger, NamedLogger, MultiChannelledLogger,
SubLogger, EventLogger, WriterLogger etc
* Some code is diffuclt to konw whether it is right:
`log.DelNamedLogger("console")` vs `log.DelNamedLogger(log.DEFAULT)` vs
`log.DelLogger("console")`
* The old system heavily depends on ini config system, it's difficult to
create new logger for different purpose, and it's very fragile.
* The "color" trick is difficult to use and read, many colors are
unnecessary, and in the future structured log could help
* It's difficult to add other log formats, eg: JSON format
* The log outputer doesn't have full control of its goroutine, it's
difficult to make outputer have advanced behaviors
* The logs could be lost in some cases: eg: no Fatal error when using
CLI.
* Config options are passed by JSON, which is quite fragile.
* INI package makes the KEY in `[log]` section visible in `[log.sub1]`
and `[log.sub1.subA]`, this behavior is quite fragile and would cause
more unclear problems, and there is no strong requirement to support
`log.<mode>.<logger>` syntax.
## The new design
See `logger.go` for documents.

Before, there was a `log/buffer.go`, but that design is not general, and
it introduces a lot of irrelevant `Content() (string, error) ` and
`return "", fmt.Errorf("not supported")` .
And the old `log/buffer.go` is difficult to use, developers have to
write a lot of `Contains` and `Sleep` code.
The new `LogChecker` is designed to be a general approach to help to
assert some messages appearing or not appearing in logs.
