ref(types): Stop using Severity enum (#4926)

Note: This and #4896 are together a (slightly updated) repeat of #4497, to get it onto the main v7 branch.

Our original v7 plan called for deprecating and then removing the `Severity` enum which lives in `@sentry/types`, because enums transpile to a two-way lookup function with a fairly hefty footprint (see this SO answer[1] from one of the maintainers of TS). We therefore added a new `SeverityLevel` type, which is the union of all of `Severity`'s underlying values, and directed people to use that instead. Though we subsequently decided not to remove `Severity` (at least in v7), we agreed that we should stop using it internally. This implements that change.

Key Changes:

- `Severity` and `severityFromString` have been redeprecated.
- The original plan to have `SeverityLevel` live in `@sentry/utils` has been reverted, and it now lives only in `@sentry/types`. 
- The internal `SeverityLevels` array on which we were basing `SeverityLevel` has been removed. While we lose the elegance of the derived type, we gain the ability to truly only export types from `@sentry/types`.
- Wherever we accept a `Severity` value, we now also accept a `SeverityLevel`.
- All internal uses of `Severity` values have been replaced with the equivalent string constants.
- A new `severityLevelFromString` function has been introduced, and is now used in place of `SeverityFromString`.
- The tests for `severityFromString` have been cleaned up and replaced with equivalent tests for `SeverityLevelFromString`.
