See [forge#52694](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/52694)

## Description

The PHP method `TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::devLog()` has been deprecated in favour of the Logging API.

-   `TYPO3\CMS\Core\Service\AbstractService::devLog()`
-   `$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['t3lib/class.t3lib_div.php']['devLog']`
