Provide interface with method prepareForDeferredProcessing()
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LBCORE-132
                 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-132
             Project: logback-core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Torsten Juergeleit
            Assignee: Logback dev list


Currently both logback event classes (LoggingEvent and AccessEvent) are implementing the method prepareForDeferredProcessing(). To allow calling this method for both event types from within a logback-core appender (e.g. the one suggested in LBCLASSIC-177) this method has to be defined within a logback-core interface.

Additionally the method prepareForDeferredProcessing() should support two behaviors:
  1) preparing only the "cheap" stuff like thread name or MDC
  2) preparing everything including the "expensive" stuff like caller data -> this would solve LBCLASSIC-175

So how about defining an interface like the following?

  package ch.qos.logback.core.spi;
  
  public interface Event {
    void prepareForDeferredProcessing(boolean doFullPreparation);
  }

Maybe the method getTimeStamp() implemented by both event types could be part of this interface as well.
