[LOG4NET-209] XmlLayout.FormatXml calls wrong overload of XmlWriter.WriteStartElement

Description

FormatXml calls WriteStartElement using prefixed element names (e.g. "log4net:event"), but it calls the overload of WriteStartElement that expects a local name. Thus, if it writes to an xml writer that actually checks such things, it crashes. Instead, it should call the overload that separates the prefix from the local name. E.g.: writer.WriteStartElement(this.m_prefix, this.m_elmEvent, null).
