  When using the "set logging" commands, cli_interp_base::set_logging
will send gdb_stdlog output (among others) to the tee it makes for
gdb_stdout.  However, this has the side effect of also causing logging
to use the pager.  This is PR gdb/29787.

This patch fixes the problem by keeping stderr and stdlog separate
from stdout, preserving the rule that only gdb_stdout should page.

I think it would help me understand if the naming of these fields was a
bit better.  I think the to_delete suffixes are no longer relevant
since using ui_file_up, the types tell us about the ownership.  And I
think that "tee_to_delete" could be named "stdout_tee", and
"stderr_to_delete" could be named "stderr_tee".

Not terribly important, perhaps as a follow up.

I'll send a follow-up for this as well.
