This updates our logging framework from legacy freetext strings using
the `log` package to structured log entries using `log/slog`. I have
updated all INFO or higher level entries, but not yet DEBUG (😓)... So,
at a high level:
There is a slight change in log levels, effectively adding a new warning
level:
- DEBUG is still debug (ideally not for users but developers, though
this is something we need to work on)
- INFO is still info, though I've added more data here, effectively
making Syncthing more verbose by default (more on this below)
- WARNING is a new log level that is different from the _old_ WARNING
(more below)
- ERROR is what was WARNING before -- problems that must be dealt with,
and also bubbled as a popup in the GUI.
A new feature is that the logging level can be set per package to
something other than just debug or info, and hence I feel that we can
add a bit more things into INFO while moving some (in fact, most)
current INFO level warnings into WARNING. For example, I think it's
justified to get a log of synced files in INFO and sync failures in
WARNING. These are things that have historically been tricky to debug
properly, and having more information by default will be useful to many,
while still making it possible get close to told level of inscrutability
by setting the log level to WARNING. I'd like to get to a stage where
DEBUG is never necessary to just figure out what's going on, as opposed
to trying to narrow down a likely bug.
Code wise:
- Our logging object, generally known as `l` in each package, is now a
new adapter object that provides the old API on top of the newer one.
(This should go away once all old log entries are migrated.) This is
only for `l.Debugln` and `l.Debugf`.
- There is a new level tracker that keeps the log level for each
package.
- There is a nested setup of handlers, since the structure mandated by
`log/slog` is slightly convoluted (imho). We do this because we need to
do formatting at a "medium" level internally so we can buffer log lines
in text format but with separate timestamp and log level for the API/GUI
to consume.
- The `debug` API call becomes a `loglevels` API call, which can set the
log level to `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `WARNING` or `ERROR` per package. The GUI
is updated to handle this.
- Our custom `sync` package provided some debugging of mutexes quite
strongly integrated into the old logging framework, only turned on when
`STTRACE` was set to certain values at startup, etc. It's been a long
time since this has been useful; I removed it.
- The `STTRACE` env var remains and can be used the same way as before,
while additionally permitting specific log levels to be specified,
`STTRACE=model:WARN,scanner:DEBUG`.
- There is a new command line option `--log-level=INFO` to set the
default log level.
- The command line options `--log-flags` and `--verbose` go away, but
are currently retained as hidden & ignored options since we set them by
default in some of our startup examples and Syncthing would otherwise
fail to start.
Sample format messages:
```

Before introducing the service map and using it for folder runners, the
entries in folderCfgs and folderRunners for the same key/folder were
removed under a single lock. Stopping the folder happens separately
before that with just the read lock. Now with the service map stopping
the folder and removing it from the map is a single operation. And that
still happens with just a read-lock. However even with a full lock it’s
still problematic: After the folder stopped, the runner isn’t present
anymore while the folder-config still is and sais the folder isn't
paused.
The index handler in turn looks at the folder config that is not paused,
thus assumes the runner has to be present -> nil deref on the runner.
A better solution might be to push most of these fmut maps into the
folder - they anyway are needed in there. Then there's just a single
map/source of info that's necessarily consistent. That's quite a bit of
work though, and probably/likely there will be corner cases there too.
Instead of separately tracking the token.
Also changes serviceMap to have a channel version of RemoveAndWait, so
that it's possible to do the removal under a lock but wait outside of
the lock. And changed where we do that in connection close, reversing
the change that happened when I added the serviceMap in 40b3b9ad1.
