mod_rest: Use logger of HTTP request in trunk In Prosody trunk rev c975dafa4303 each HTTP request gained its own log sink, to make it easy to log things related to each request and group those messages. Especially where async is used, spreading the request and response apart as mod_rest does with iq stanzas, this grouped logging should help find related messages.

# Introduction

This module writes out a traceback to a file when a chosen signal (by default
`SIGUSR1`) is received. It can be useful to diagnose cases where Prosody is
unresponsive.

# Configuration

`debug_traceback_filename`
:   The name of the file to write the traceback to. Some variables
    are supported, see [mod_log_ringbuffer] docs for more info. Defaults
    to `{paths.data}/traceback-{pid}-{count}.log`.

`debug_traceback_signal`
:   The name of the signal to listen for. Defaults to `SIGUSR1`.

# Compatibility

Prosody 0.11 or later.
