Description
Rather than maintaining separate kext loggers and logging daemons, we should update the logging daemon to have (at least) the same functionality as the logger and retire the logger.
Build definitions that user the logger can switch to calling log show to collect the kext logs.

Research direction
Start by locating the logging daemon, kext logger, and build definitions that invoke the logger; compare the logger's functionality with the daemon and inspect how log show collects kext logs. Done means the daemon covers the logger's required functionality, the logger is retired, and affected build definitions use log show.
