Summary: Add API to logging package to allow intercooperation.

Initial Comment:
This set of patches implements two simple ways in which
the logging package could be extended to allow more
than one body of code to customize the base Logger class.

The first patch (and doc patch) implements a
"getLoggerClass()" function symmentrical to the
existing "setLoggerClass()" function.

The second patch instead renames the internal
"_loggerClass" variable to "loggerClass", leaving the
old setLoggerClass() function for compatibility.


The problem with the logging module at present is that
if I wish to define extra functionality in the Logger
class for use with my application or package, and
another package that I make use of does the same, then
one set of Logger class customisations will be lost.

Using the above patches, the standard way to extend
Logger would go from:

   class MyLogger(logging.Logger):
      ...

to:

   class MyLogger(logging.getLoggerClass()):
      ...

or alternatively for the second patch:

   class MyLogger(logging.loggerClass):
      ...


Thanks,


David.
