Improved replacement for tracing_appender::rolling
Like tracing_appender::rolling but:
rotate not the unidiomatic roll.*.log.Appender.Debian's tag2upload-service-manager uses rocket so we tried to use tracing for logging.
However, we have come to the conclusion that tracing is not fit for purpose.
One of the biggest issues is that the model is not documented.
The composition of the various pieces is confusing, and, we strongly suspect, not fully coherent.
See
#2141;
this also seems to be generating many bug reports from confused users
who haven't analysed the situation as thoroughly as was done there.
For this reason, we don't want to try to have multiple Subscribers
or try to use Layers.
Instead, we do all the level filtering directly, here.
We tried using RollingFileAppender but tripped over a bug
that broke the tests:
it doesn't rotate logfiles until the first entry is written
(#2937).
Other tickets in the upstream tracker aren't encouraging,
eg #1932.
