This log4j2-loggerExtension.patch is in no way complete, but I would like some feedback on the direction I am taking on this.

> Create a LoggerExtension from the original logger which simply remembers the FQCN that will ultimately be the extension. 
> Also by doing this, we can switch a bunch of methods that ended up being public back to protected. I'm guessing they became public so extensions could call them. 
> This can simplify extensions (such as slf4j, jcl, custom extensions, logger streams) so they don't have to pass in the FQCN to that special log method on AbstractLogger anymore. Also, you don't have to wrap every extended log method with a check to see if the logging is enabled. Finally, you don't need to have any access to the MessageFactory. This even has to potential to eliminate AbstractLoggerWrapper.
