Description

When running in App Service with Run-From-Zip, files are read-only so user cannot tweak web.config to change things like stdoutLogEnabled. Having an environment variable alternative would solve this.

This first came up on https://github.com/Azure/app-service-announcements-discussions/issues/32#issuecomment-407813574

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how ANCM reads logging settings (e.g., stdoutLogEnabled) from web.config and identify where environment variable fallback could be added. Look at existing environment variable support in ASP.NET Core for patterns.
