[logback-dev] Replacing CallerData class

[Ralph Goers]

The only concern I would have is that it would break an existing  
user's code to remove it. I realize the version is still  
0.9.something, but at this point Logback is being used in production,  
probably in lots of places.

What I would suggest is to change all the Logback code to use  
StackTraceElement but deprecate CallerData and the getCallerData  
method and then have CallerData extend StackTraceElement as a wrapper.  
Make sure you add getStackTrace to the LoggingEvent. getCallerData  
could then create the CallerData array from the StackTrace array.
