When 2d7a4a3357 was merged, it missed the fact that Verbose log messages
are formatted and handled by 'verbosers'. Verbosers are registered
functions that handle verbose messages only; they exist as a separate
class of callbacks. This was done to handle the 'magic' that must be
inserted into Verbose messages sent to remote consoles, so that the
consoles can format the messages correctly, i.e., the leading
tabs/characters.
In reality, verbosers are a weird appendage: they're a separate class of
formatters/message handlers outside of what handles all other log
messages in Asterisk. After some code inspection, it became clear that
simply passing a Verbose message along with its 'sublevel' importance
through the normal logging mechanisms removes the need for verbosers
altogether.
This patch removes the verbosers, and makes the default log formatter
aware that, if the log channel is a console log, it should simply insert
the 'verbose magic' into the log messages itself. This allows the
console handlers to interpret and format the verbose message
themselves.
This simplifies the code quite a lot, and should improve the performance
of printing verbose messages by a reasonable factor:
(1) It removes a number of memory allocations that were done on each
verobse message
(2) It removes the need to strip the verbose magic out of the verbose
log messages before passing them to non-console log channels
(3) It now performs fewer iterations over lists when handling verbose
messages
Since verbose messages are now handled like other log messages (for the
most part), the JSON formatting of the messages works as well.
