Added option to load service provider from passed in ClassLoader

[m-froehlich]

The LoggerFactory will load service providers from a passed in ClassLoader, if given. Otherwise previous behavior is maintained. The getLogger(Class) method receives a class, that is used to extract a ClassLoader from.

Hi community, we had problems with a library, that is using SLF4j, that is loaded through a custom ClassLoader to workaround service provider initialization issues. For this to work, we need to make sure, that service providers are looked up in the correct class loader. My changes should do that without any drawbacks to the current behavior.

Unfortunately changes were made to this exact area in the code. So I had to adjust my patch a little. But it should do the trick now.

Do I have to do anything else to workaround the signed-off-by thing?

You have to add that to the bottom of your commit message. If you are using Eclipse, the IDE can add that for you if you enable it in the Git Staging View's Commit Message area, based on your git-config (the pencil symbol).

I have committed it using this github platform. Is it ok, if I commit something arbitrary (a space or something) and add it to that commit message?

I'm not a maintainer of this library so I cannot tell what is really desired, but since each commit has to be signed off (i.e. has the Signed-off-by footer), I would simply amend your first commit, remove the second one and force-push to this branch again.

This PR is not backward compatible and cannot be merged as is.

I had already deleted this branch. But what about the patch-2 branch? Have you seen that PR?
