[Breaking change]: Http logging in dotnet 8 doesn't work without call AddHttpLogging

[denisbredikhin]

Description

There is an behavioral breaking change in .NET 8: Http logging doesn't work without call AddHttpLogging.
It was discussed here: dotnet/aspnetcore#51322
Main documentation has been updated, but this change is not mentioned in the "Breaking changes in .NET 8" article.

Version

.NET 8

Previous behavior

It was enough to call app.UseHttpLogging(); to have HTTP logging activated.

New behavior

You need to call services.AddHttpLogging() too, otherwise your service crashes.

Type of breaking change

• Binary incompatible: Existing binaries might encounter a breaking change in behavior, such as failure to load or execute, and if so, require recompilation.
• Source incompatible: When recompiled using the new SDK or component or to target the new runtime, existing source code might require source changes to compile successfully.
• Behavioral change: Existing binaries might behave differently at run time.

Reason for change

dotnet/aspnetcore#50163

Recommended action

Please update "Breaking changes in .NET 8" article.
