Remove deprecated PrefixedLogger interface (#4705)

* Add some tests for `logger`

* Remove deprecated `PrefixedLogger` interface

`PrefixedLogger` has been deprecated for some time, so let's remove it now,
while we have a major version bump.

We can tidy up some of the other logic while we're here.

Unfortunately lots of the code still uses `logger.log` which isn't exposed by
the `Logger` interface, so we need to keep exposing that where it was before.
