[LOG4J2-621] Pattern support to drop elements from front in logger name
To drop the parts from logger or caller's name starting from the front, I
have implemented a new class named
org.apache.logging.log4j.core.pattern.NameAbbreviator.DropFirstElementsAbbreviator
which will analyse the name and drop from the start of the name using "."
separator. If a path does not contain enough path elements to drop, nothing
will be dropped.
I have implemented test cases for the existing feature where the parts are
retained from the end of the names, and also implemented test cases for the new
feature where the parts are dropped from the front of the names.

> Pattern To Drop First X Package Parts
> -------------------------------------

> Key: LOG4J2-621
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-621
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Layouts
> Affects Versions: 2.0-rc1
> Reporter: Lee Theobald
> Priority: Trivial
> Attachments: LOG4J2-621_01.patch
>
>
> Currently you can have a pattern that will print out the last X parts of you
> package. So if my package was {{uk.co.ltheobald.foo.bar}}, then using
> {{%logger\{2\}}} will print {{foo.bar}}. But when I have a number of
> different package levels, this becomes less useful (in my opinion).
> What I'd find more useful is the inverse where I can ditch the first X parts.
> Something like {{%logger\{-3\}}} for example. That way I'd end up with:
> {{uk.co.ltheobald.Main logging}} as {{Main}}
> {{uk.co.ltheobald.foo.MyClass}} logging as {{foo.MyClass}}
> {{uk.co.ltheobald.foo.bar.MyOtherClass}} logging as {{foo.bar.MyOtherClass}}
> Removing from the start of the logger name allows me to consistently trim off
> package names that I know are always the same. I'll see if I can produce a
> code example for this if I get time but I wanted to log it in the meanwhile.
