Improve debug reporting

[Gold]

I recently had a client project where I had to use log_debug() a lot due to the development environment. I found that this was a less than simple process.

I would propose these be written to the database and full featured logging area be added to filter and view the logs.

This feature would be under the admin menu and access to the reporting area would be restricted using the standard roles or to when the site is not in production mode.

Features could include filters on data range, log type (debug, error, notice, warn, etc), reporting library/module, user that triggered it, etc.

Clicking through to an actual log message could intelligently present the message in a useful manner. i.e., an array or object could be presented with kint[1] or similar for easy navigation of large data objects.

We'd need to discuss the implications for security when that information is then available in a production site on screen and also the database.
