feature: add thread local trace_id and trace_reason to logging. Added trace_id to default logging so that all logs for a given request share the same trace_id. This allows correlation of logs across a request. admin_guide.txt, upgrading.txt: add docs update sample configs to include trace_id. rewrite logging docs in admin_guide. Hopefully they are clearer now. clean up some stuff in the logging config file docs. admin.py: add decorators to run_command to enable trace_id. change calls to db.commit() to use run_command to get trace_id. configuration.py: clean up imports. update docstrings, comments and inline docs. add trace_id to default log format. add function for testing decorated with trace_id. add support for dumping stack trace in logging. add check for pytest in sys.modules to enable log propagation when pytest is running. Otherwise tests fail as the caplog logger doesn't see the roundup logs. logcontext.py: new file to handle thread local contextvar mangement. mailgw.py: add decorators for trace_id etc. scripts/roundup_xlmrpc_server.py: add decorators for trace_id etc. fix encoding bug turning bytes into a string. fix command line issue where we can't set encoding. (not sure if changing encoding via command line even works) cgi/client.py decorate two entry points for trace_id etc. cgi/wsgi_handler.py: decorate entry point for trace_id etc. test/test_config.py: add test for trace_id in new log format. test various cases for sinfo and errors in formating msg.

        Additional implementation notes for the Roundup Issue Tracker.
        Supplement for docstrings in the Roundup package.

====================
Implementation notes
====================

[see also the roundup package docstring]

There have been some modifications to the spec. I've marked these in the
source with 'XXX' comments when I remember to.

In short:
 Class.find() - may match multiple properties, uses keyword args.

 Class.filter() - isn't in the spec and it's very useful to have at the
    Class level.

 CGI interface index view specifier layout part - lose the '+' from the
    sorting arguments (it's a reserved URL character ;). Just made no
    prefix mean ascending and '-' prefix descending.

 ItemClass - renamed to IssueClass to better match it only having one
    hypderdb class "issue". Allowing > 1 hyperdb class breaks the
    "superseder" multilink (since it can only link to one thing, and
    we'd want bugs to link to support and vice-versa).

 template - the call="link()" is handled by special-case mechanisms in
    my top-level CGI handler. In a nutshell, the handler looks for a
    method on itself called 'index%s' or 'item%s' where %s is a class.
    Most items pass on to the templating mechanism, but the file class
    _always_ does downloading. It'll probably stay this way too...

 template - call="link(property)" may be used to link "the current item"
    (from an index) - the link text is the property specified.

 template - added functions that I found very useful: List, History and
    Submit.

 template - items must specify the message lists, history, etc. Having
    them by default was sometimes not wanted.

 template - index view determines its default columns from the
    template's ``tal:condition="request/show/<property>"`` directives.

 template - menu() and field() look awfully similar now .... ;)

 roundup_admin.py - the command-line tool has a lot more commands at its
    disposal
