Proposal: refactor logging, capture for dashboard recordings, output to file, serialize browser console logs

[brian-mann]

More comprehensive proposal is needed but summary is this:

• Refactor existing debug / log implementation
• Create logger wrapper utility to manage all logic
• Route debug, console.log and performance data through this utility
• Enable silencing all node based console.log per #2071
• Capture browser console methods per #700
• Write all logs to an output.log per project in AppData
• Persist logs on recorded dashboard runs
• Enable changing the logs folder via some CLI flag like --logs-folder=/path/to/logs
• Fix morgan output always appearing
• Expose a pluginEvent for internal:log perhaps
• Start capturing performance related data in logs

Would this issue cover this request? #2991

As first step, having feature to upload text files from logs directory to dashboard would be very helpful and could be a good jumpstart. Will enhance cypress-failed-log plugin too with no extra effort. Maybe its already planned in the nearest future?
