refactor(log): split location into package/file/class/method, auto-derived

Per the log schema: 'package' is the Go package (absent on
Python-emitted lines), 'file' the Go/Python source basename, 'class' the
Go receiver or Python class (omitted when there is none -- free
functions no longer masquerade under a package-as-class), 'method' the
emitting function. applog.App() now takes no arguments and derives all
of it from runtime.Caller, so labels can never drift from the code; the
manual http/wrapper emitters and forwarded wrapper.py lines (file=
wrapper.py, no package) carry the same fields.
