[Feature Request]: Update docs for clarity about different Logger behaviors #10676

Description

@baronfel

Summary

We need to revamp the docs around

  • logger CLI switcher
  • kinds of loggers provided by MSBuild

to help explain how --verbosity applies differently to different loggers, especially the differences between the Console Logger and Terminal Logger.

We need a place to discuss the expectations, formats and experiences that each Logger brings, as well as some kind of decision-making helper for users to decide what logger to use.

Background and Motivation

Users view certain aspects of TL as a take-back (especially power users that write MSBuild logic) and we need a place to put guidance about the different loggers

Proposed Feature

New docs specifically focusing on the shipped Loggers to place these details.
