Make CollecTor operators aware of logging

The logging framework configuration should be decoupled from CollecTor, i.e.

  • remove default logback.xml from collector-<version>.jar
  • add an example of logback.xml to src/main/resources
  • provide the two logback-{classic,core}.jars with a release, but remove them from collector-<version>.jar
  • add more logging info to the operating guide

The goal should be to make operators aware of the logging choices and their responsibilities. Without a default logging setup operators will have to think about choices like

  • logging framework implementation
  • log-level settings
  • logging environment, e.g. path settings etc.

Once an instance is configured these logging settings won't just change magically with the upgrade to a new release and thus issues like legacy/trac#20079 (moved) will be avoided.
