Allow disabling the log database

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I am using Sonarr with Postgres and it's a bit inconvenient to have to have 2 databases per instance of Sonarr. In my setup I have logs via stdout which are also going to a log aggregator (Loki), Sonarr also writes the logs to disk and writes logs to another database. I don't see the need to have 3 places for the logs.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be awesome if there was a way in the config.xml to disable the log database completely and disable any feature in the app that relies on it (if any).

Describe alternatives you've considered

There really isn't any alternative.

Anything else?

Not something we're going to commit to doing at this time, if someone is interested in picking this up we'll leave the issue tagged.

A couple other things that could be done:

• Ability to set log level for DB logs in the config file
• Optionally use SQLite DB for logs regardless, but this only prevents Postgres from dealing with them

I'd be happy to pick this up after this issue is done.

I did open a Radarr PR for toggling the log database. Is this something you'd be happy for me to bring into here?
