Add Multi destination logger

This would allow for logging is different formats,
through single logger calls.

Also, add documentation for this logger.

## Multi-destination Logging
GitLab is transitioning from unstructured/plaintext logs to structured/JSON logs. During this transition period some logs will be recorded in multiple formats through multi-destination logging.
### How to use multi-destination logging
Create a new logger class, inheriting from `MultiDestinationLogger` and add an array of loggers to a `LOGGERS` constant. The loggers should be classes that descend from `Gitlab::Logger`. e.g. the user defined loggers in the following examples, could be inheriting from `Gitlab::Logger` and `Gitlab::JsonLogger`, respectively.
You must specify one of the loggers as the `primary_logger`. The `primary_logger` will be used when information about this multi-destination logger is displayed in the app, e.g. using the `Gitlab::Logger.read_latest` method.
The following example sets one of the defined `LOGGERS` as a `primary_logger`.
```ruby
module Gitlab
class FancyMultiLogger < Gitlab::MultiDestinationLogger
LOGGERS = [UnstructuredLogger, StructuredLogger].freeze
def self.loggers
LOGGERS
end
def primary_logger
UnstructuredLogger
end
end
end
```
You can now call the usual logging methods on this multi-logger, e.g.
```ruby
FancyMultiLogger.info(message: "Information")
```
This message will be logged by each logger registered in `FancyMultiLogger.loggers`.
### Passing a string or hash for logging
When passing a string or hash to a `MultiDestinationLogger`, the log lines could be formatted differently, depending on the kinds of `LOGGERS` set.
e.g. let's partially define the loggers from the previous example:
```ruby
module Gitlab
# Similar to AppTextLogger
class UnstructuredLogger < Gitlab::Logger
...
end
# Similar to AppJsonLogger
class StructuredLogger < Gitlab::JsonLogger
...
end
end
```
Here are some examples of how messages would be handled by both the loggers.
1. When passing a string
```ruby
FancyMultiLogger.info("Information")
# UnstructuredLogger
I, [2020-01-13T12:02:41.566219 #6652] INFO -- : Information
# StructuredLogger
{:severity=>"INFO", :time=>"2020-01-13T11:02:41.559Z", :correlation_id=>"b1701f7ecc4be4bcd4c2d123b214e65a", :message=>"Information"}
```
1. When passing a hash
```ruby
FancyMultiLogger.info({:message=>"This is my message", :project_id=>123})
# UnstructuredLogger
I, [2020-01-13T12:06:09.856766 #8049] INFO -- : {:message=>"This is my message", :project_id=>123}
# StructuredLogger
{:severity=>"INFO", :time=>"2020-01-13T11:06:09.851Z", :correlation_id=>"d7e0886f096db9a8526a4f89da0e45f6", :message=>"This is my message", :project_id=>123}
```
## Exception Handling
It often happens that you catch the exception and want to track it.
