Support for Anotar.Serilog

[j2jensen]

The Anotar.Serilog.Fody package allows you to write code like this:

public class MyClass
{
    void MyMethod()
    {
        LogTo.Verbose("Message template with {SomeValue}", 42);
    }
}

And have it compile to something like this:

public class MyClass
{
    static ILogger logger = Log.ForContext<MyClass>();

    void MyMethod()
    {
        if (logger.IsEnabled(LogEventLevel.Verbose))
        {
            logger
                .ForContext("MethodName", "Void MyMethod()")
                .ForContext("LineNumber", 8)
                .Verbose("Message template with {SomeValue}", 42);
        }
    }
}

I'm switching from using Anotar.Log4Net to Serilog right now, and I love that this analyzer can warn me about common mistakes, but I would love to get the concise code and extra context that Anotar.Serilog provides. Since the Anotar.Serilog.LogTo static methods seem to mirror those of Serilog.Log, it seems like it might be an easy lift to make these analyzers provide the same analyses that they provide for Serilog.

If the logging methods would be annotated with Serilog.Core.MessageTemplateFormatMethodAttribute like in https://github.com/serilog/serilog/blob/2d4d8d13cffe33e5c72e6c6f4a29f84aaba8f5a3/src/Serilog/ILogger.cs#L93-L100 then it would be recognized automatically.

Very nice. I've created an Issue to ask if they can add those annotations.

The annotation is added, and everything works as expected. Thanks!
