Avoid changing root logger level when setting level of unconfigured logger

Previously getLoggerConfig(loggerName) was used to retrieve the
LoggerConfig object on which the level was to be set. As described in the
method’s javadoc it will “remove tokens from the package name as
necessary or return the root LoggerConfig if no other matches were found”.
This is problematic as, if there’s no configuration for the logger whose
level is being configured, the level will be applied to a logger from an
outer package or to the root logger.

This commit updates Log4J2LoggingSystem to use the configuration’s map of
LoggerConfigs, rather than calling getLoggerConfig. In the event of the
level being set on an unconfigured logger, this will produce a null
LoggerConfig. When a null LoggerConfig is encountered, a new one is
created with the appropriate level. If the config already exists, its
level is set as it was before.

The code that was accessing the root logger using a magic null value
(which was then coerced into the root logger’s name (an empty string))
has also been updated to make it clearer that they are purposefully
dealing with the root logger.

Closes gh-3550
