Documentation: Usage Instructions do not present the simplest way of setting up Serilog.AspNetCore

[r3use]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Comming to Serilog and .Net Core I had to spend hours of trying to find out the simplest way of Setting up Serilog and having it read it's configuration from the settings file is:

.UseSerilog((hostingContext, services, loggerConfiguration) => loggerConfiguration .ReadFrom.Configuration(hostingContext.Configuration))

Describe the solution you'd like

This setup should be shown FIRST in the installation instructions. Together with the simplest configuration which writes to a log file and the console.

Also .UseSerilog() should use the settings file for configuration by default.

Additional context

I've seen multiple tutorials and guides setting up Serilog as described in the instrustions when all they had to do was call .UseSerilog as described above. You only really find it in the documentation by luck or if you already know how to do it.

Also .UseSerilog() should use the settings file for configuration by default.

This will create internal dependencies between packages. I'm sure the authors wanted to avoid this.

Thanks for the pointer, @r3use ; the README is about to get a major overhaul now that we have https://nblumhardt.com/2020/10/bootstrap-logger/ coming down the pipe, so I'll give your comments some thought 👍

I meant the hosting contexts configuration. I don't know if that that changes anything regarding dependencies.
