Tracing's log feature should not cause code that would otherwise compile to break #1793

Currently, enabling the log feature in tracing can break code that would otherwise compile, which is a problem, as features are generally supposed to be additive. This leads to situations such as projects breaking when trying to use console, as Tonic enables the default features in tower, which enables this feature in tracing.

There has already been some discussion about this in the discord server.

Bumping this, it's been long enough and it's a very easy problem to hit nowadays, especially with console-subscriber.

I thought this issue was fixed in #1823? Are you still seeing errors with an up-to-date tracing dependency?

Yes, I am sadly seeing this in v0.1.33

Can you share the error you're seeing? The issue fixed by #1823 is the only one I'm aware of, so I'd like to see if this is the same problem or a different one.

@hawkw I'll get an mcre up shortly

Unfortunately, tracing/log is a non-additive feature (tokio-rs/tracing#1793), so enabling it is a bit radioactive.

@hawkw I have an MCRE here: https://github.com/Noah-Kennedy/another-tracing-mcre

In a nutshell:

#[tokio::main(flavor = "current_thread")]
async fn main() {
    tracing_subscriber::fmt().init();
    tokio::spawn(do_request()).await.unwrap();
}

async fn do_request() {
    let response = reqwest::get("https://google.com").await.unwrap();
    tracing::info!("{}", response.text().await.unwrap());
}

This fails with tracing/log enabled because the future returned by do_request is no longer Send, but works without that feature. I suspect that this would work with any await held in that position. I shall attempt to minify further.

Got it working without reqwest:

#[tokio::main(flavor = "current_thread")]
async fn main() {
    tokio::spawn(do_request()).await.unwrap();
}

async fn do_request() {
    tracing::info!("{}", std::future::ready("test").await);
}

The tokio::spawn is basically just there to assert that the resulting future is Send.

These pass without the `log` feature enabled, but fail when `log` is
enabled. Thanks @Noah-Kennedy for the original MCRE!

## Motivation

Currently, enabling the `log` feature can cause a compilation error when
using `tracing` macros in async functions or blocks. This is because,
when the `log` feature is enabled, the `tracing` macros will construct a
`log::Record`, which is not `Send`, causing the async fn/block future to
become `!Send`. This can break compilation when the future is `Send`
without the `log` feature enabled. This is really not great, as it makes
the feature no longer purely additive.

## Solution

This branch fixes the issue by moving the `log::Record` construction
behind a function call. Because the `log::Record` is now only
constructed inside of a function, the `log::Record` is now never a local
variable within the async block, so it no longer affects the future's
auto traits. 

It's kind of a shame that the compiler can't otherwise determine that
the `log::Record` can never be held across an await point, but sticking
it in a separate function makes this obvious to the compiler. Also, as a
side benefit, this may reduce the size of macro-generated code when the
`log` feature is enabled a bit, which could improve performance
marginally in some cases.

I added two tests ensuring that `async fn` and `async` block futures are
`Send` when containing `tracing` macro calls. Previously, on `master`,
these failed when the `log` feature is enabled. After this change, the
tests now pass. Thanks to @Noah-Kennedy for the original MCRE these
tests were based on!

Finally, while I was here, I took advantage of the opportunity to clean
up the log integration code a bit. Now that the `log::Record`
construction is behind a function call in `__macro_support`, the
`LogValueSet` type, which is used to wrap a `ValueSet` and implement
`fmt::Display` to add it to the textual message of `log::Record`, no
longer needs to be exposed to the macros, so it can be made properly
private, rather than `#[doc(hidden)] pub`. Also, I noticed that the
`span` module implemented its own versions of `LogValueSet` (`FmtAttrs`
and `FmtValues`), which were essentially duplicating the same behavior
for logging span fields. I removed these and changed this code to use
the `LogValueSet` type instead (which will format string `message`
fields slightly nicer as well).
