Description
We currently hard-code the format for access logs; it would be better if we allowed this to be configured. It probably makes the most sense to support Apache's [format strings](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_log_config.html#formats).

Research direction
Start by locating the code that emits access logs and the configuration entry points in this repository. Read Apache's mod_log_config format documentation linked in the issue and determine how configurable format strings should be represented. Done means access-log formatting can be configured while preserving the current default format, with coverage for the supported behavior.
