Log4j Maven plugin

[Piotr P. Karwasz]

Hi all,

After successfully merging my `LogBuilder` enhancement proposals, I
have a Maven plugin ready[#], which hardcodes location information in
a class's bytecode.

As Ralph remarks in the PR, the right place for this module is not
necessarily the `loggjing-log4j2` repository. I tend to agree with
this: the lifecycle of this plugin is not necessarily linked with
Log4j2. I have a long list of additional features I want to implement
in the near future (like migrating SLF4J, JCL and JUL bytecode to
Log4j2 API), but after that development will probably stop (apart from
some bug fixes).

Where do you think I should upload this code? What Maven groupId should I use?

Piotr
