log4j abilities (SP 2.6.0.1)

[Alan Buxey]

i'm digging around the docs for references...and the net to see what
it throws up.   I note some doc that has shibboleth/syslog.logger as
its logging directive in the SPConfig section
but that file isnt present by default...might head down that route right now.

The names used by the property-based configurator in the library were ripped off from log4j, for reasons that would probably have to be asked of the people who wrote it.

I think anybody that cares has probably just gone into it themselves to find them. Most of the ones people use with any frequency are probably in the example files that the software includes, but if I ever did any looking for more settings it would have been a decade or more ago.
