[SPARK-26235][Core] Change log level for ClassNotFoundException/NoClassDefFoundError in SparkSubmit to Error ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? In my local setup, I set log4j root category as ERROR (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27781187/how-to-stop-info-messages-displaying-on-spark-console , first item show up if we google search "set spark log level".) When I run such command ``` spark-submit --class foo bar.jar ``` Nothing shows up, and the script exits. After quick investigation, I think the log level for ClassNotFoundException/NoClassDefFoundError in SparkSubmit should be ERROR instead of WARN. Since the whole process exit because of the exception/error. Before https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/20925, the message is not controlled by `log4j.rootCategory`. ## How was this patch tested? Manual check.
