Add options for filtering the log output from nu (#13044)

# Description

Add `--log-include` and `--log-exclude` options to filter the log output
from `nu` to specific module prefixes. For example,

```nushell
nu --log-level trace --log-exclude '[nu_parser]'
```

This avoids having to scan through parser spam when trying to debug
something else at `TRACE` level, and should make it feel much more
reasonable to add logging, particularly at `TRACE` level, to various
places in the codebase. It can also be used to debug non-Nushell crates
that support the Rust logging infrastructure, as many do.

You can also include a specific module instead of excluding the parser
log output:

```nushell
nu --log-level trace --log-include '[nu_plugin]'
```

Pinging #13041 for reference, but hesitant to outright say that this
closes that. I think it address that concern though. I've also struggled
with debugging plugin stuff with all of the other output, so this will
really help me there.

# User-Facing Changes

- New `nu` option: `--log-include`
- New `nu` option: `--log-exclude`
