Loggers can now load logging rules from local files, using either relative or absolute paths. This makes groups of rules easier to develop and share between apps.

## Why load from files?

Logging rules have (before now) always been specified in-line as part of configuring a logger. Our thinking was that the rules would then always been in sync with the application itself. But this can be tedious to have to rebuild/redeploy your API service just to try a tweak to the logging rules. And externalizing rules into files unlocks new ways to share sets of rules between applications.

## Examples

The path to the rules file can be either absolute or relative.

<pre class="p-3"><code>// Java example
logger = new HttpLogger("https://...", "file://./rules.txt");

# Node.js example
logger = new HttpLogger({url: 'https://...', rules: 'file://./rules.txt'});</code></pre>
