Don't switch to logger when there is a new message #854

Description

Now that we have the Messages dialog which gets highlighted when there is a new message, maybe it's time to stop jumping to the logger every time there's a new message? That's going to be irritating in more scenarios than just this one.

Currently, whenever the inventory panel is focused and there is a new message in the logger, we jump to focus on the logger so that the player can read the message. However, this can be irritating e.g. when the player is trying to read about some things in the inventory and there are many messages being generated for whatever reason. Now that we have the Messages dialog, which gives an alternative mechanism for reading messages and for alerting players to the fact that there are new messages, perhaps we should get rid of this behavior.
