Add HTTP request/response logging middleware for development mode (#4425)

* Add HTTP request logging middleware for development mode

- Introduced httpLogger middleware to log HTTP requests and responses.
- Enabled logging only in development mode to assist with debugging.

* Update httpLogger middleware to disable time logging by default

* Add httpLogger middleware for development mode in collector service

* Refactor httpLogger middleware to rename timeLogs parameter to enableTimestamps for clarity

* Make HTTP Logger only mount in development and environment flag is enabled.

* Update .env.example to clarify HTTP Logger configuration comments
