Description

We should update the Slf4j API jar and other slf4j jar to there latest release of 1.7.6 [1]. Most recent release is 1.7.6 and has some noteworthy changes [1] including performance, usage of varargs etc. The core API bundle has no compatibility breaking change.

I am particularly interested in the varargs support in log statements

Also note that projects like Sling have also moved to latest release (SLING-3243)
