[issue9427] logging.error('...', exc_info=True) should display upper frames, too

This also happens on later versions. Since 2.x is essentially frozen, this feature request can't be implemented in 2.x, so recategorising as a Python 3.2 issue.

Here, a change in logging will either duplicate code in traceback.py or print the upper frames above the "Traceback (most recent call last):" line, which is not ideal.

The best way to implement in logging would be to wait for the implementation of the patch in #1553375, following which a change could be made in Formatter.formatException to invoke traceback.print_exception with the "fullstack" keyword parameter.
