Common: Remove async logging

It provided a large increase in complexity of the logging system while
having a negligible performance impact: the usage patterns of the ring
buffer meant that each log contended with the logging thread, causing
it to effectively act as a synchronous extra buffering.

Also removed some broken code related to filtering of subclasses which
was broken since it was introduced. (Which means no one ever used that
feature anyway, since, 8 months later, no one ever complained.)
