Description:
The server writes appends "-log" to its version string if binlogging, slow logging or general logging are turned on.

This looks like a relic of a forgotten time. Remove it.

How to repeat:
./mysqld -V

Fixed in 8.0.11.

The -log suffix is no longer appended to the server version string if
logging is enabled. This affects, for example, the value of the
version system variable.
