logging: Allow logging.exception helper to handle tracebacks.

thatbudakguy · dpgeorge · commit 6e24cffe958d · 2025-06-06T11:46:43.000+10:00
Although `Logger.exception` supports passing exception info with
`exc_info`, when you use `logging.exception` keyword arguments are not
forwarded to the root logger, which makes passing `exc_info` raise
`TypeError`.
