The logs stop repeating what metrics and their own fields say (#363)

iPX logged scan_done after every scan: 921 lines a day, a fifth of the
log, nearly all "scan complete, 1 feed(s)" since scans became one or two
feeds at a time (#114). ipx_jobs_total, ipx_feed_fetches_total and
ipx_last_scan_age_seconds hold all of it. It is routine now, at debug, so
the page's log view keeps it. The dashboard's "feeds checked" series and
the prod check's check 4 read the metrics instead.

ipx-directory wrote each line's span twice, as `span` and in `spans`, and
neither added anything: a request's span repeated its method, path and
status, refresh.feeds repeated `checked`, a feed span was empty.

ipx::http stays: it repeats Caddy's access line and the span, but holds
the route pattern and ipx's own time, which the dashboard groups by.

The prod check's `status` line was the healthcheck's every 30 s; since
#218 it is only `ipx status` run by hand, and the skill says so.

 - A feed you already have, added again by the same address over http rather than https or the other way round, is the one you have, not a second subscription with every item twice. Changing a feed's address to another feed's over the other scheme is refused the same way (#362).
