If stack_trace field is empty log as null value to support filtering
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In logstash there is no way to filter out an empty string.
If the stack_trace is an empty string, it should have a null value.

This will make it much easier to filter out user browser extensions that have no stack trace.

We no longer log errors with an empty stack trace as of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/WikimediaEvents/+/664306

We started filtering out errors without a stack trace in the logstash board by normalized message so I see little reason to log them (which also resolves this)
