Motivation

Currently, when multiple subscribers are in use, the way that Interest
values are combined results in surprising behavior.

If any subscriber returns Interest::always for a callsite, that
interest currently takes priority over any other Interests. This means
that if two threads have separate subscribers, one of which enables a
callsite always, and the other never, both subscribers will always
record that callsite, without the option to disable it. This is not
quite right. Instead, we should check whether the current subscriber
will enable that callsite in this case.

This issue is described in #902.

Solution

This branch changes the rules for combining Interests so that always
is only returned if both Interests are always. If only one is
always, the combined interest is now sometimes, instead. This means
that when multiple subscribers exist, enabled will always be called on
the current subscriber, except when all subscribers have indicated
that they are always or never interested in a callsite.

I've added tests that reproduce the issues with leaky filters.

Fixing this revealed an additional issue where tracing-subscriber's
EnvFilter assumes that enabled is only called for events, and never
for spans, because it always returns either always or never from
register_callsite for spans. Therefore, the dynamic span matching
directives that might enable a span were never checked in enabled.
However, under the new interest-combining rules, enabled may still
be called even if a subscriber returns an always or never interest,
if another subscriber exists that returned an incompatible interest.
This PR fixes that, as well.

Depends on #919

This was previously approved by @yaahc as PR #920, but I
accidentally merged it into #919 after that branch merged, rather
than into master (my bad!).

Fixed

- **env-filter**: Fixed a regression where `Option<Level>` lost its
  `Into<LevelFilter>` impl ([#966])

- Updated `tracing-core` dependency to 0.1.16

Added

- **fmt**: Add `BoxMakeWriter` for erasing the type of a `MakeWriter`
  implementation ([#958])
- **fmt**: Add `TestWriter` `MakeWriter` implementation to support
  libtest output capturing ([#938])
