While I was working on some patches, I noticed that error messages
were not properly logged in some situations where we were formatting
errors (thus not logging errors defined at compile-time).

This patch series fixes the issues I had by patching the proxmox-rest-server,
but also fixes similar issues in PBS itself from happening in the future.

Downcasting to both &str and String is also done by the Rust Standard
Library in the default panic handler. See:

AFAIK this gets called after the logging init, so we can use
tracing::error for the log messages here.

A few variables can be be inlined here.

The downcast part looks ok to me.
Please keep the commit message title under 72 characters.

Thanks!

Thanks for the review! I sent a v2 which includes your suggestions.

small note: for pbs this is actually 70 chars, guess there might have
been a wikipage that wasn't updated [1].
