[LOG4J2-1944] Should suppress message "ERROR No log4j2 configuration file found..." when programmatic API is used to config log4j.

Description

Log4j can be configured through log4j's configuration API. There are cases that an organization want to control the log4j configuration through the configuration API and discourage the use of config file. The error message

ERROR No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration: logging only errors to the console.

is misleading.

Can this be downgraded to WARN message, or provide a way to suppress it?
