Thanks everyone for the reviews.  Please review the updated commit which contains the following changes:

1. Moves most of the flags to the normal location for obsolete flags.

2. Keeps the extra -Xlog message for the three most commonly used flags.

3. Removes the removed_develop_logging_flags struct and support functions.

4. Removes the aliased_logging_flags struct and support functions based on Coleen's statement that there are no existing flags that would use it.

Thanks! Harold
