[phoenix] excalibur-logger jar in container lib directory

This breaks if you also include excalibur-logger in your application  
jar (if say, you have your own child containers)...

A "solution" would be to create the LoggerManager for applications in  
DefaultLogManager using the application classloader. I think this won't  
work fully as the application classloader and the container-private  
classloader aren't connected at all and thus they won't share a common  
view of the interface. If excalibur-logger was broked out into two  
jars, one for interface one for impl, the interface jar could go into  
the common classloader with the impl only in the container-private  
classloader. I don't know if there will be enough benefit to make it  
worth the effort.

Any objections to just moving excalibur-logger.jar back into the common  
lib directory?
