Logging and startup improvements (#3038)
* Logging and startup improvements

Color support for released binaries!

* startup scripts no longer log to file by default - this only affects
source builds - released binaries don't support file logging
* add --log-stdout option to control logging to stdout (colors, json)
* detect tty:s vs redirected logs and log accordingly
* add option to disable log colors at runtime
* simplify several "common" logs, showing the most important information
earlier and more clearly
* remove line numbers / file information / tid - these take up space and
are of little use to end users
  * still enabled in debug builds and tools
* remove `testnet_servers_image` compile-time option
* server images, released binaries and compile-from-source now offer
the same behaviour and features
* fixes https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/issues/2326
* fixes https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/issues/1794
* remove instanteneous block speed from sync message, keeping only
average

directory layout

dist/base_image/

Base Docker images for building distributable binaries. Uploaded to Docker Hub (we need them to reproduce officially released builds).

dist/

Dockerfiles used to build local Docker images based on the base images described above. Only used for generating distributable binaries. Not uploaded to Docker Hub.

dist/binaries/

Docker images for end-users, obtained by copying distributable binaries inside official Debian images. Uploaded to Docker Hub as part of the CI release process.

Also contains some example docker-compose configuration files.
