Improved Task Log performance and UX

[PaulStovell]

Whether a deployment succeeds or fails, people come to the deployment log. Even users who don't usually interact with Octopus or have any involvement in the deployment process often find themselves looking at deployment logs when something breaks.

Octopus 2024.2.x includes significant enhancements to the deployment log.

The main features are:

• A modern visual design that makes it delightful to read logs
• Performance improvements - handles huge logs (with millions of lines) with ease without freezing
• Intelligent Log Rendering™️ brings the most important events to your attention, even in huge logs

And smaller improvements:

• Line numbering
• Ability to select and link to log lines, and share the link with others
• Clean Copy & Paste™️ without line numbers and other things polluting
• Visual indication of the time different steps took
• Defaulting to showing the task log if a deployment is running
• Better progress indicators so you know what's happening
