[logback-user] Please someone explain %c layout pattern to me

[Ceki Gulcu]

I also added the following paragraph to the docs:

Please note that the right most segment in a logger name is never
abbreviated, even if its length is longer than the <em>length</em>
option. Other segments may be shortened to at most a single character
but are never removed.
