I'm updating log4j-jdk to use log4j-core if available. A similar pattern
might be useful for the 1.2 bridge. Plus, the duplicate code isn't just the
map; it's everything in AbstractExternalLoggerContextRegistry. Here, take a
look:

https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=logging-log4j2.git;a=blob_plain;f=log4j-api/src/main/java/org/apache/logging/log4j/spi/AbstractExternalLoggerContextRegistry.java;h=9e7a8fcdf43eae0a3ac0eb2163ab1da39bbce987;hb=LOG4J2-608
