Add an "abandoned" log status

Problem/Motivation

This came up in the farmOS chat today (https://irc.farmos.org/bot/log/farmOS/2022-08-18#T78948).

And in this forum discussion: https://farmos.discourse.group/t/ability-to-create-abandoned-logs/1636

Currently Logs can either be marked as "done" or "pending". In some cases, you may have events that start as "pending" but then are never completed, for whatever reason (eg: a change in plans). The only option right now is to either delete the log or leave it as "pending" (which is no longer true). There may be value in preserving logs that do not happen and are no longer "pending" for historical reference.

Proposed resolution

Add a new abandoned state to Logs.

Review PR: https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/pull/945

Moving this to the farmOS issue queue.

We've been discussing this in the forum, and consensus seems to have landed on calling it abandoned instead of canceled. Updating this issue accordingly...

I've drafted a pull request to start thinking through the necessary code changes: https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/pull/945

The intention is to consider this for farmOS 4.x.
