Description

I'd like to see more options for how stack traces are formatted in the ECS logs to help in reducing the size of logs.

Some examples:

1. Maximum depth
2. Include/exclude stack frames based on a pattern
3. Shorten class names by abbreviating package names to fit within a specified length
4. Root cause first or last

Ideally a configuration option could override the formatting of the stack trace through an interface implementation provided by the application. That implementation could return a `String[]` or `Stream` of the formatted stack frames which are then added to the ECS log either as a JSON string or an array of strings.

I'd be happy to work on a PR for this if there is interest in it being included.
