Additional feature enhancements to nxos_logging (#45844)

* Various changes to nxos_logging.  Plus added purge capibility.

* Made a few new nxapi_logging test cases conditional based on version
and/or platform.

* Addressed PR comments and ansibot shippable.  Fixed up nxos_logging documentation format.

* Addressed ansibot shippable issues with whitespaces and documentation.

* Resolved ansibot codestyle trailing whitespace
