Aurelien DARRAGON e3eb6a9035 MEDIUM: log: consider log-steps proxy setting for existing log origins
During tcp/http transaction processing, haproxy may produce logs at
different steps during the processing (accept, connect, request,
response, close). But the behavior is hardly configurable because
haproxy will only emit a single log per transaction, and by default
it will try to produce the log once all log aliases or fetches used
in the logformat could be satisfied, which means the log is often
emitted during connection teardown, unless "option logasap" is used.

We were often asked to have a way to emit multiple logs for a single
transaction, like for instance emit log during accept, then request,
response and close for instance, see GH #401 for more context.

Thanks to "log-steps" keyword introduced by commit "MINOR: log:
introduce "log-steps" proxy keyword", it is now possible to explictly
configure when logs should be generated by haproxy when processing a
transaction. This commit adds the required checks so that log-steps
proxy option is properly considered for existing logs generated by
haproxy. If "log-steps" is not specified on the proxy, the old behavior
is preserved.

Note: a slight cpu overhead should only be visible when "log-steps"
keyword will be used due to the implementation relying on eb32 lookup
instead of basic bitfield check as described in "MINOR: proxy: add
log_steps struct member". However, the default behavior shouldn't be
affected.

When combining log-steps with log-profiles, user has the ability to
explicitly control how and when haproxy should generate logs during
requests handling.
