MINOR: Remove slf4j-log4j from kafka-streams compile dependencies As kafka-streams is intended to be used by applications that may or may not wish to use log4j, kafka-streams itself should not have a dependency on a concrete log framework. This change adapts the dependencies to be API-only for compile, and framework-specific for the test runtime only. I read through the [Contributing Code Guidelines](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Contributing+Code+Changes) and interpreted this as a trivial change that doesn't require a Jira ticket. Please let me know if I've interpreted that wrongly. This contribution is my original work and I license the work to the project under the project's open source license.
