Change default log configuration (#13088)

Browse source 
* Change default log configuration

This PR changes the install page and the docker default
logging configuration to match the suggested configuration
that I repeatedly end up suggesting on issues.

It further improves the logging configuration docs to
recommend specific instructions for how to configure logs
for posting to issues.

## Default Configuration
## Debugging problems
The default empty configuration is equivalent to:
When submitting logs in Gitea issues it is often helpful to submit
merged logs obtained by either by redirecting the console log to a file or
copying and pasting it. To that end it is recommended to set your logging to:
```ini
[database]
LOG_SQL = false ; SQL logs are rarely helpful unless we specifically ask for them
...
[log]
MODE = console
LEVEL = debug ; please set the level to debug when we are debugging a problem
REDIRECT_MACARON_LOG = true
MACARON = console
ROUTER = console
COLORIZE = false ; this can be true if you can strip out the ansi coloring
```
Sometimes it will be helpful get some specific `TRACE` level logging retricted
to messages that match a specific `EXPRESSION`. Adjusting the `MODE` in the
`[log]` section to `MODE = console,traceconsole` to add a new logger output
`traceconsole` and then adding its corresponding section would be helpful:
```ini
[log.traceconsole] ; traceconsole here is just a name
MODE = console ; this is the output that the traceconsole writes to
LEVEL = trace
EXPRESSION = ; putting a string here will restrict this logger to logging only those messages that match this expression
```
(It's worth noting that log messages that match the expression at or above debug
level will get logged twice so don't worry about that.)
`STACKTRACE_LEVEL` should generally be left unconfigured (and hence kept at
`none`). There are only very specific occasions when it useful.
## Empty Configuration
The empty configuration is equivalent to:
```ini
[log]
