Logging Support

[sevensolutions]

IIS worker processes don't log to stdout which is pretty bad. But maybe we can provide a named pipe to the application so the app developer can configure logging to it manually.

Nomad is already creating a named pipe for logging, but only the Administrator account is permitted to access it. So we should try to wrap it into a new one and permit the AppPool user.

Named pipes dont play nicely with regular file-loggers because the pipe breaks if the connection gets closed. Therefore i've built an experimental UDP-based log-sink.

This is what we can do in IIS Docker Containers: https://blogs.iis.net/jeonghwan/how-to-use-iis-insider-docker-tag
