Make logging code self-contained (#13785)

* Make logging code self-contained.

Rewrite logging code to use python's builting QueueListener, effectively
moving the logging process into a thread of the Frigate app.

Also, wrap this behaviour in a easy-to-use context manager to encourage
some consistency.

* Fixed typing errors

* Remove todo note from log filter

* Do not access log record's msg directly

* Clear all root handlers before starting app
