Strongly recommend against use of the log_levels setting since it
creates overly verbose logs and has a serious performance impact.
Describe the log filter syntax better and mention use of shell
glob syntax. Also provide more realistic example of good settings
to use. The libvirtd example is biased towards QEMU, but when the
drivers split off each daemon can get its own more appropriate
example.

There are two undesirable aspects to the impl

Since the introduction of log tuning capabilities to virt-admin by
@06b91785, this has been a much needed missing improvement on the way to
deprecate the global 'log_level'.

When applying the log filters, one has to define the more specific
filters before the generic ones, because the first filter that matches
will be applied. However, we've been missing this information in the
config, so it always has been a trial-error scenario figuring out that
e.g. '4:util 1:util.pci' doesn't actually enable verbose logging on the
src/util/virpci.c module because 4:util will be matched first.

Remove global log buffer feature entirely
A earlier commit changed the global log buffer so that it only
records messages that are explicitly requested via the log
filters setting. This removes the performance burden, and
improves the signal/noise ratio for messages in the global
buffer. At the same time though, it is somewhat pointless, since
all the recorded log messages are already going to be sent to an
explicit log output like syslog, stderr or the journal. The
global log buffer is thus just duplicating this data on stderr
upon crash.
The log_buffer_size config parameter is left in the augeas
lens to prevent breakage for users on upgrade. It is however
completely ignored hereafter.

This was in the 1.2.3 release, and 4 years is sufficient time for a
graceful upgrade path for augeas, so all remaining traces are now
removed.
