[bunyan] remove '@theia/bunyan' extension

[vince-fugnitto]

What it does

Fixes #6637

Motivation:

• the extension is not used by any other extension present in the main repo.
• the extension is not part of the example-browser or example-electron application, therefore it cannot be tested properly.
• since it is not part of any other extension, or tested, it is likely to be un-maintained.
• removing the extension also has a positive side-effect on build and CI time

How to test

• the PR was tested by verifying if any @theia/bunyan dependencies were present, building the project and ensuring that tests successfully passed when removed.

Review checklist

• as an author, I have thoroughly tested my changes and carefully followed the review guidelines

Reminder for reviewers

• as a reviewer, I agree to behave in accordance with the review guidelines

I also noticed the dependency bunyan and @types/bunyan are declared but unused at the moment, should I clean those up as well?

@marcdumais-work I added an extra commit which takes care of removing the bunyan and @types/bunyan dependencies from application-manager and core respectfully.

Looking good - with the latest version, the only bunyan reference I find when grepping the repo is from CHANGELOG:

gitpod /workspace/theia $ grep -R -i bunyan *
CHANGELOG.md: - [bunyan] removed @theia/bunyan extension #6651

LGTM, but we should probably wait at least a day before merging, to give community members time to potentially object.

Sounds good! :)

I'm happy to remove unused stuff :)

Maybe announce on Spectrum, just to make sure. But we can always reincarnate it as a separate repo if there anyone eager to maintain it.

I created a post on Spectrum as well so its more visible to the community: https://spectrum.chat/theia/general/the-theia-bunyan-extension-to-be-removed~811cbba0-6977-449b-b7b0-ac5fb25b9231

I'll give others a chance to view the PR if they'd like and merge on Monday.
