tsweb: swallow panics

Browse Source 
With this change, the error handling and request logging are all done in defers
after calling inner.ServeHTTP. This ensures that any recovered values which we
want to re-panic with retain a useful stacktrace.  However, we now only
re-panic from errorHandler when there's no outside logHandler. Which if you're
using StdHandler there always is. We prefer this to ensure that we are able to
write a 500 Internal Server Error to the client. If a panic hits http.Server
then the response is not sent back.
