[Doc] Improve logging guide

           Summary: [Doc] Improve logging guide
           Product: Commons
           Version: 2.0 Final
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/logging.htm
                    l
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: HttpClient
        AssignedTo: commons-httpclient-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: ortwin.glueck@nose.ch


Until now, we only explain logging with SimpleLog. While this is very useful
when you are not familiar with logging, this is too specific.
The following should be added to the logging guide:

 * a list of all loggers (categories) that HttpClient provides:
    - wirelog
    - application log
 * description of what each log level contains
 * a Log4J sample config, maybe even some Log4J config code for use within a webapp

I know that some of this is actually in the domain of Commmons-Logging / Log4J.
But a lot of our users seemt to have issues with logging, so it seems best to
provide this simple piece of information as a reference.
