[NIFI-5785] LogAttribute processor overrides user input on attributes to log

Description

If a user desires to log only specific attributes by listing them in the "Attributes to Log" field and then deletes the default ".*" in the "Attributes to Log by Regular Expression" field, the LogAttribute processor ignores the input and logs additional attributes anyway, specifically:          entryDate
  lineageStartDate
  fileSize

Also, the next time the user returns to configure the processor, the default .* is back in the "Attributes to Log by Regular Expression" field.
