Separate removeConsole and consoleType Props for Better Environment Control

[basit-qayoom]

Description:
Currently, the removeConsole option in the performance settings allows either a boolean (true/false) to remove all console logs or an array of specific console methods to remove. However, this approach has limitations when configuring different environments (e.g., keeping console.error in production but removing others).

Proposed Solution:
Introduce a separate consoleType prop, allowing removeConsole to remain a strict boolean toggle (true/false), while consoleType controls which console methods to remove.

export default {
  performance: {
    removeConsole: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production', // Toggle based on environment
    consoleType: ['log', 'warn'], // Specify types to remove
  },
};

This is a breaking change and we have no plan to separate it.

Do you need to use removeConsole in development mode? It is based on minimizer and is not recommended for development use.

The requirement is to display only console errors in the production environment, while allowing all other console logs in non-production environments.

removeConsole only works for production builds.
