Add `AnyLogger` type (`Logger | LoggerAdapter` alias)

[Avihais12344]

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

AnyLogger: TypeAlias = Logger | LoggerAdapter

According to the docs, LoggerAdapter should look mostly like Logger. So it would be really nice to have a type that can be used for both Logger and LoggerAdapter.

I would need it when I want to hold a logger instance, but I don't really care if it's Logger or LoggerAdapter.
So I want to support both options.

It may sound like an antipattern, according to the docs, but using LoggerAdapter is the recommended way of passing contextual info (according to the docs).

Even when using contextvars for holding the logger, a AnyLogger type would be handy indeed.

I am willing to submit a PR fixing this issue, like I tried to do before:
#126057

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

It seems more sensible to open a more general discussion on DPO first. Why does it makes sense to add a type just for this one specific case? How much of the stdlib is typed over in typing / typeshed?

How much of the stdlib is typed over in typing / typeshed?

The typeshed repo provides types for basically all of the standard library, but that is just in terms of typing existing objects. A type alias like proposed here could be useful for users of logging who want to write types in their own code. I am also not sure the need here is common enough to warrant adding something to the standard library, so I agree with your recommendation to discuss it on discuss.python.org first.
