### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe the problem.
As suggested by the official documentation, I have shortcircuited requests to robots.txt and others in my application. I noticed that these short-circuited requests are not logged by the W3CLogger (which I more or less expect, as it is injected as middleware).
I did notice however, that when the file is served as a static file, it is being logged by the W3CLogger, however for some of these requests I want to generate the contents dynamically and in that case they won't show up in the W3C log.
### Describe the solution you'd like
I see three different solutions from a point of view of a **user** of ASP.NET Core:
- Allow for a way to insert middleware before the routing middleware (i.e. before any short-circuiting is handled). That way the W3CLogger could be inserted before the routing middleware and all requests will be logged.
- Have a configuration option to indicate whether ShortCircuit requests should be logged by the W3CLogger
- Make W3CLogger log all requests always, even ShortCircuit requests.
