log: slog through auxilia's scribe, not logrus

This was the last service on the instance still logging through logrus,
and the ecore bump made it a correctness question rather than a
consistency one: the recovery middleware reports a panic through slog's
DEFAULT logger, so without a SetDefault the one record carrying a stack
trace would have gone to Go's plain handler while every other line went
through logrus.

initLogging installs a scribe tint handler on stderr — source on, colour
only when stderr is a terminal, and the mask rules for token, cookie and
authorization. It reads -d out of the argument vector rather than
waiting for core-go's parse, because a daemon that only became verbose
after it had finished starting would be silent for exactly the part of
its life an operator passes -d to watch. Terminal detection is a stdlib
Stat rather than golang.org/x/term, which would be a new dependency for
one predicate.

The startup config check keeps its shape deliberately: it still
accumulates every missing key and reports them in ONE record before ONE
exit, so an operator fixes the config in a single pass. The keys go in
as a slice attribute rather than a joined string, so the structured
sinks keep them as a list.

culpa goes in at the one boundary where it pays: the errors web.New
returns, which are the only errors this package produces and all of
which arrive at that single startup record. Each carries a hint naming
the config key or the build step that fixes it, and scribe.Err unfolds
message, code, hint and stacktrace into fields of their own. The failing
request path logs the same way, with ErrorContext so a cancelled request
reads as cancelled rather than as an unexplained 500.

TestPanicIsAnErrorPage covers the wiring end to end through Register: a
panicking authorizer yields the chrome-wrapped 500, the panic value does
not reach the viewer, and the report reaches slog's default logger.
