Instead of closing over the current scoped logger, causing a leak.
Closes #36464, backports #36758 to 8.0
Description
When generating the shaper (code which reads back results from the database), the current logic wrongly captures the current query logger (which is a scoped service); this means that whatever logger is in use when the query is first compiled gets referenced from the shaper, and stored in our singleton query cache potentially forever (or until evicted). The logger has references ultimately leading to the EF change tracker and through it, meaning that these user objects are kept alive forever (a form of leak).
Customer impact
With specific usage, arbitrary large user objects may be kept alive forever, and never garbage-collected. In addition, the wrong query logger instance may get used (the one from when the query was first compiled, instead of the current one for the query being executed), which could lead to incorrect logging.
We have performed patch servicing for this kind of bug before (because of the leak potential).
How found
Customer report
Regression
Yes, from EF 7 to EF 8; introduced in #31100.
Testing
This is unfortunately difficult/possible to test automatically, as it's about an unwanted reference in the shaper keeping objects alive. Tested manually to ensure that the shaper no longer contains the reference.
Risk
Low. The change is simple, and we have ample code coverage for the affected codepaths; quirk added.
