"Logger" warning with Ruby 3.3.5

[voxik]

Running railties test suite with Ruby 3.3.5, I observer following failures due to warning which appears to come from concurrent-ruby:

* Test file: test/application/bin_setup_test.rb
/usr/share/gems/gems/concurrent-ruby-1.1.9/lib/concurrent-ruby/concurrent/concern/deprecation.rb:1: warning: logger was loaded from the standard library, but will no longer be part of the default gems starting from Ruby 3.5.0.

I'll run the test suite to see if it repros that:
https://github.com/eregon/concurrent-ruby/actions/runs/10705209923/job/29680039267

Probably we need to add logger as a gem dependency then, from https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20309

[eregon]

Right I see it in https://github.com/eregon/concurrent-ruby/actions/runs/10705209923/job/29680039267#step:4:41

It doesn't fail concurrent-ruby's CI but we should still fix it of course.

The README says:

The design goals of this gem are:

• ...
• Remain free of external gem dependencies

So we have no choice but to break that goal then?

concurrent-ruby doesn't seem to use much of Logger, but it uses at least currently Logger::FATAL, Logger::DEBUG and Logger::SEV_LABEL.
It has its own replacement of Logger because the stdlib one was deadlocking apparently (it would be good to check if that is still the case):

concurrent-ruby/lib/concurrent-ruby/concurrent/concern/logging.rb

Lines 37 to 39 in 044020f

	def self.create_simple_logger(level = Logger::FATAL, output = $stderr)
	# TODO (pitr-ch 24-Dec-2016): figure out why it had to be replaced, stdlogger was deadlocking
	lambda do |severity, progname, message = nil, &block|

So it might be feasible to remove the usage of Logger, except in create_stdlib_logger where it could be an autoload. Or since that's already deprecated maybe remove it entirely.
Instead of a Logger::<LEVEL> we'd take a Symbol or so, and Concurrent::Concern::Logging#log is marked as private API so there shouldn't be external users.
We still have the issue that create_simple_logger takes an Integer for the level and that should keep working though.

[eregon]

I cannot reproduce the deadlock with the stdlib logger with 3.3.5.
But given how little concurrent-ruby uses logging I think it's best to keep using its simple logger and avoid a gem dependency for this.

The original problem was noticed in this commit.

And create_stdlib_logger/use_stdlib_logger have been re-added as deprecated in 959e764, 8 years ago. So it might be OK to remove it now.

[eregon]

I came up with a PR to remove the dependency on logger: #1062

@eregon thanks! can we get a new release for this?
