Handle default values from Airflow 2 gracefully

Apache Airflow version

main (development)

If "Other Airflow 2 version" selected, which one?

What happened?

Some config options default values in Airflow 2 won't work well, possibly failing silently or not, in Airflow 3. An example is log_filename_template which silently breaks task logs in the new UI.

We should do a pass using all default config values from Airflow 2 and make sure, if they changed, that the old value folks may have in their existing config file may cause problems.

airflow config lint is likely a good place for handling this? Or depending on the situation, automatically upgrading the value and warning, like we've done in the past with log_filename_template in the past.

What you think should happen instead?
