Thomas Eizinger 19f51568c2 chore(rust): don't pass errors as values for debug logs (#7318)
Our logging library `tracing` supports structured logging. Structured
logging means we can include values within a `tracing::Event` without
having to immediately format it as a string. Processing these values -
such as errors - as their original type allows the various `tracing`
layers to capture and represent them as they see fit.

One of these layers is responsible for sending ERROR and WARN events to
Sentry, as part of which `std::error::Error` values get automatically
captured as so-called "sentry exceptions".

Unfortunately, there is a caveat: If an `std::error::Error` value is
included in an event that does not get mapped to an exception, the
`error` field is completely lost. See
https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-rust/issues/702 for details.

To work around this, we introduce a `err_with_sources` adapter that an
error and all its sources together into a string. For all
`tracing::debug!` statements, we then use this to report these errors.

It is really unfortunate that we have to do this and cannot use the same
mechanism, regardless of the log level. However, until this is fixed
upstream, this will do and gives us better information in the log
submitted to Sentry.

Connlib

Firezone's connectivity library shared by all clients.

Building Connlib

You shouldn't need to build connlib directly; it's typically built as a dependency of one of the other Firezone components. See READMEs in those directories for relevant instructions.
