Fix test sdists with atexit handlers (#6769)

So merging the study from @bmw and me, here is what happened.

Each invocation of `certbot.logger.post_arg_parse_setup` create a file handler on `letsencrypt.log`. This function also set an atexit handler invoking `logger.shutdown()`, that have the effect to close all logger file handler not already closed at this point. This method is supposed to be called when a python process is close to exit, because it makes all logger unable to write new logs on any handler.

Before #6667 and this PR, for tests, the atexit handle would be triggered only at the end of the pytest process. It means that each test that launches `certbot.logger.post_arg_parse_setup` add a new file handler. These tests were typically connecting the file handler on a `letsencrypt.log` located in a temporary directory, and this directory and content was wipped out at each test tearDown. As a consequence, the file handles, not cleared from the logger, were accumulating in the logger, with all of them connected to a deleted file log, except the last one that was just created by the current test. Considering the number of tests concerned, there were ~300 file handler at the end of pytest execution.

One can see that, on prior #6667, by calling `print(logger.getLogger().handlers` on the `tearDown` of these tests, and see the array growing at each test execution.

Even if this represent a memory leak, this situation was not really a problem on Linux: because a file can be deleted before it is closed, it was only meaning that a given invocation of `logger.debug` for instance, during the tests, was written in 300 log files. The overhead is negligeable. On Windows however, the file handlers were failing because you cannot delete a file before it is closed.

It was one of the reason for #6667, that added a call to `logging.shutdown()` at each test tearDown, with the consequence to close all file handlers. At this point, Linux is not happy anymore. Any call to `logger.warn` will generate an error for each closed file handler. As a file handler is added for each test, the number of errors grows on each test, following an arithmetical suite divergence.

On `test_sdists.py`, that is using the bare setuptools test suite without output capturing, we can see the damages. The total output takes 216000 lines, and 23000 errors are generated. A decent machine can support this load, but a not a small AWS instance, that is crashing during the execution. Even with pytest, the captured output and the memory leak become so large that segfaults are generated.

On the current PR, the problem is solved, by resetting the file handlers array on the logging system on each test tearDown. So each fileHandler is properly closed, and removed from the stack. They do not participate anymore in the logging system, and can be garbage collected. Then we stay on always one file handler opened at any time, and tests can succeed on AWS instances.

For the record, here is all the places where the logging system is called and fail if there is still file handlers closed but not cleaned (extracted from the original huge output before correction):
