[logging-too-few-args] Raise for format strings with no interpolation at all

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

✓	🐛 Bug fix
✓	🔨 Refactoring

Description

The original decision was taken in db8b3a4 during implementation with a different rational ("If no args were supplied, then all format strings are valid don't check any further.") and was not discussed again when the comment was updated in #2713. I think the new behavior make sense especially considering that the primer shows 4 false negative in home-assistant.

Taken from the initial implementation in #10108 based on indication from #9999

Closes #9999

Pull Request Overview

This PR fixes a bug in the logging checker by ensuring that format strings with insufficient interpolation arguments are flagged, and it refactors the logic to handle such cases consistently.

• Added new test files for both old and new-style logging usage to demonstrate and verify the improved behavior.
• Removed an early exit in the logging checker to enforce proper argument checking even when no arguments are supplied.

• [nitpick] Consider adding assertions or expected warning message verification to ensure that this logging call produces the expected warning, instead of relying solely on the function call.

logging.error("%s, %s", 1)  # [logging-too-few-args]

tests/functional/l/logging/logging_too_few_args_new_style.py:7

• [nitpick] Consider adding explicit assertions to verify that this logging call triggers the expected warning, which would improve the robustness of the test coverage.

logging.error("{}")  # [logging-too-few-args]

pylint/checkers/logging.py:328

• Ensure that the removal of this early return does not lead to unexpected behavior when no logging arguments are supplied; verify that subsequent logic handles these cases appropriately.
