Otherwise, a line that's too wide for the log widget will cause the horizontal scroll bar to appear, which reduces the vertical height, and causes the most recent line to be off screen. Since that line is off screen, the log widget no longer scrolls as new lines appear, unless it's manually scrolled to the very bottom again.
Previously the logging was a in a little bit of a disarray. Some things
were in namespaces, and other things were not.
Given this code will feature a bit of restructuring during the
transition over to fmt, this is a good time to unify it under a single
namespace and also remove functions and types from the global namespace.
Now, all functions and types are under the Common::Log namespace. The
only outliers being, of course, the preprocessor macros.
Messages buffer is intended to be of a fixed capacity (MAX_LOG_LINES),
which cannot be achieved by std::queue unless we manually pop() extra elements.
std::queue uses std::deque internally which most likely results in allocations performed continuously.
FixedSizeQueue keeps a single buffer during its entire lifetime, avoiding any allocations except the ones
performed by stored objects.
QTextEdit is heavy, similar in functionality to WordPad,
while QPlainTextEdit is lightweight like Notepad.
Qt documentation recommends using QPlainTextEdit for log viewers,
and it also allows to set automatic cutoff of oldest messages beyond a fixed point,
which we now set to MAX_LOG_LINES (5000)
