Added PersonModel for non-web logging

Obtained user information from the environment

This is interesting, but I'm worried this a bit confusing in web-usage when working with threads / tasks, situations where there isn't a HttpContext.Current. You'll get a mix of real users and webserver(s) in Rollbar under the People tab.

It would be perfect if we could detect we're using Rollbar in a desktop application (I think this is your usecase?). A empty HttpContext.Current doesn't mean we aren't using Rollbar in a webapplication.

You are right about the possible confusion.
Maybe we could base it in a aptly named configuration switch?
Shall I make a proposal?

On detection of a desktop environment, do you have any suggestions?

Maybe something like this?

HostingEnvironment.IsHosted

I added the clause detecting wether the application is in a hosted environment.

The mentioned overhead is already present, as this component already references System.Web.
