Fix Request Logging link in Minimal APIs middleware table

[Copilot]

The "Request Logging" row in the Minimal APIs middleware table links to the general logging article (xref:fundamentals/logging/index) instead of the HTTP Logging middleware article (xref:fundamentals/http-logging/index). The description and API column (UseHttpLogging) both clearly refer to HTTP Logging middleware, confirming the link target was simply wrong. Present across all version monikers (6.0–10.0).

• Link fix across 5 files: xref:fundamentals/logging/index → xref:fundamentals/http-logging/index in minimal-apis.md and include files for versions 6–9
• Remove stale version pin: Dropped ?view=aspnetcore-6.0 query parameter from the corrected links in include files
• Update ms.date in minimal-apis.md

<issue_description>### Description

In the section ASP.NET Core Middleware clicking on Request Logging link leads to a general logging topic for ASP.NET Core 6.0

I believe it should lead to a respective HTTP Logging middleware topic at HTTP logging in ASP.NET Core

@wadepickett Thanks @AFayziev! You are correct, the link needs to be changed. The link specified a version and that was left in from versions 7 through 9. We will fix it. @wadepickett ## 🤖 AI Triage Summary

Issue Analysis: Request Logging link in Minimal APIs middleware table points to incorrect page

✅ Issue Validation

Status: Valid and actionable

📋 Issue Summary

In the "ASP.NET Core Middleware" table of the Minimal APIs quick reference article, the Request Logging row links to the general ASP.NET Core logging topic (xref:fundamentals/logging/index) instead of the HTTP Logging middleware topic (xref:fundamentals/http-logging/index). This is a mismatch: the description says "Provides support for logging HTTP requests and responses" and the API column references UseHttpLogging, both of which clearly refer to HTTP Logging middleware — not the general logging infrastructure. This incorrect link exists across all version monikers (6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0).

I have never liked that "for experienced developers" label. To me it sounds like a disguised excuse for poorly written content. This article is really a kind of reference content and should be accessible to almost anyone. I'm not saying you should do anything now but let's keep this in mind for trials of Copilot rewrites to improve readability. 😄
