Updated functionality for logging failed access

- Added testing to cover.
- Linked logging into Laravel's monolog logging system and made log
channel configurable.
- Updated env var names to be specific to login access.
- Added extra locations as to where failed logins would be captured.

Related to #1881 and #728
