[NIFI-7753] ExecuteGroovyScript INFO logs filtered out by default logback.xml

Description

The default logback.xml included with NiFi (at least the apache/nifi Docker image for 1.11.4) includes the following config:

    <logger name="org.apache.nifi" level="INFO"/>
    <logger name="org.apache.nifi.processors" level="WARN"/>
    <logger name="org.apache.nifi.processors.standard.LogAttribute" level="INFO"/>
    <logger name="org.apache.nifi.processors.standard.LogMessage" level="INFO"/>

This means that calls to `log.info` within an ExecuteGroovyScript are filtered out of the logs by default, which is confusing if one wants to write a script that includes some informational logging (seems a sensible expectation).

I'd imagine including the following in the `logback.xml` would resolve this:

    <logger name="org.apache.nifi.processors.groovyx.ExecuteGroovyScript" level="INFO"/>
