Description

Fineract's default logging configuration, in https://github.com/apache/fineract/blob/develop/fineract-provider/src/main/resources/logback.xml, logs both to STDOUT (ConsoleAppender) as well as to ${catalina.base}/logs/fineract-platform.log with FileAppender.

This makes sense for a standalone ZIP distribution (e.g. for http://fineract.apache.org), but for the ("Docker") Container image, we should only to STDOUT instead of filling up a file inside the container.

Add another logback.xml and COPY that over the default one in the Dockerfile.
