Support loading configuration via classpath
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: LBCORE-249
                 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-249
             Project: logback-core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Joran
    Affects Versions: unspecified
            Reporter: Alex Glass
            Assignee: Logback dev list
            Priority: Minor


A lot of boilerplate is needed to load a configuration file with Joran.  I suggest improving doConfigure to support scanning inputs on the classpath.  Sample code of 7 lines could be condensed to two.

		LoggerContext context = (LoggerContext) LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory();
		
		JoranConfigurator configurator = new JoranConfigurator();
		configurator.setContext(context);
		context.reset();
		
		InputStream inputStream = SmtpTest.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(INPUT_FILE);
		if(inputStream == null) throw new IllegalStateException("File not found: " + INPUT_FILE);
		configurator.doConfigure(inputStream);

VS

		JoranConfigurator configurator = new JoranConfigurator();
		configurator.doConfigure(INPUT_FILE);
