Make format::Writer::new() public #2680

Motivation

As seen here #2512 and #2223. Previously pr'ed here #2525, but no progress has been made there for quite some. I have applied the suggested changes. Not sure the formatting of the doc is sufficient or otherwise correct

Solution

Make the format::Writer::new() function public. I don't see any obvious trade-offs, but I am not familiar with the larger direction of tracing/subscriber, so I may be wrong.

A number of people (myself included) have expressed significant interest in having Writer::new() public for various reasons, with some difficulty getting traction.

I'm happy to merge this change. I had some additional suggestions about the documentation that I'd like to address before merging this, but I can just apply those suggestions myself and merge the PR.

If we're committing to making this a public API, I think we can just remove the previous TODO comment.

The motivation for not making this public is that I thought it could be valuable for the Writer type to be able to indicate whether it was empty or not. This could be used when writing to it, in order to determine whether to emit whitespace before writing more text to the writer. If we were going to track this, however, we couldn't just take an arbitrary impl fmt::Write, because there is no way to determine whether that value is empty or not. If we had an explicit Writer::from_string constructor, instead, we could check if the string is empty first. Therefore, my preference would be to do that, and keep the new function that constructs a Writer from an arbitrary value private.

However, I honestly don't care anymore, and I'm happy to approve this PR regardless. If we decide that tracking whether the writer is empty is important, we could make a breaking change in the future.

# 0.3.18 (November 13, 2023)

This release of `tracing-subscriber` adds support for the [`NO_COLOR`] environment
variable (an informal standard to disable emitting ANSI color escape codes) in
`fmt::Layer`, reintroduces support for the [`chrono`] crate, and increases the
minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) to Rust 1.63.0.

It also introduces several minor API improvements.

### Added

- **chrono**: Add [`chrono`] implementations of `FormatTime` ([#2690])
- **subscriber**: Add support for the [`NO_COLOR`] environment variable in
`fmt::Layer` ([#2647])
- **fmt**: make `format::Writer::new()` public ([#2680])
- **filter**: Implement `layer::Filter` for `Option<Filter>` ([#2407])

### Changed

- **log**: bump version of `tracing-log` to 0.2 ([#2772])
- Increased minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) to 1.63.0+.
