           Summary: Need ability to shutdown loggers and flush appenders

There needs to be a way to shutdown logging and flush async appenders so when a
process is closing, all log events are written before the process is closed.

Should ILoggerFactory have a shutdown or stop method?  It could shutdown
whatever logging back end I'm using?

For log4j it would call -
org.apache.log4j.LogManager.getLoggerRepository().shutdown();
For logback it would call - loggerContext.stop()
Other back ends - ???

This is required to allow me to not reference logging back ends explicitly in
my code to shutdown successfully without losing events.
