[RFC] [core] Make the repl log4j configuration override the root logger.
In the default Spark distribution, there are currently two separate
log4j config files, with different default values for the root logger,
so that when running the shell you have a different default log level.
This makes the shell more usable, since the logs don't overwhelm the
output.
But if you install a custom log4j.properties, you lose that, because
then it's going to be used no matter whether you're running a regular
app or the shell.
With this change, the overriding of the log level is done differently;
the log level repl's main class (org.apache.spark.repl.Main) is used
to define the root logger's level when running the shell, defaulting
to WARN if it's not set explicitly.
On a somewhat related change, the shell output about the "sc" variable
was changed a bit to contain a little more useful information about
the application, since when the root logger's log level is WARN, that
information is never shown to the user.
