feat: use vscode log format for client logs

This change updates the log format to use the vscode log format instead
of the custom log format, by replacing the `OutputChannel` with a
`LogOutputChannel` and using the `debug`, `info`, `warn`, and `error`
methods on it. This has the following benefits:

- Each log level now has its own color and the timestamp is in a more
  standard format
- Inspect output (e.g. the log of the config object) is now colored
- Error stack traces are now shown in the output
- The log level is now controlled on the output tab by clicking the gear
  icon and selecting "Debug" or by passing the `--log` parameter to
  vscode. The `trace.extension` setting has been marked as deprecated.
