[PHOENIX-6660] Ship reload4j in queryserver assembly

• Type: Improvement
• Status: Resolved
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Fixed
• Fix Version/s: queryserver-6.0.1
• Component/s: queryserver

Release Note

The Phoenix Query Server assembly now includes the reload4j and slf4j-reload4j jars.
In order to avoid logging jar conflicts, Phoenix Query Server now has to be run with the phoenix-embedded-client jar variant, instead of the non-embedded phoenix-client jar.
sqlline-thin.py now uses reload4j and the bin/logj.properties file for logginig.

Description

Queryserver currently doesn't ship any "real" logging backend, it only adds slf4j-simple.

If you add the non embedded phoenix-client, then it will pick up the slf4j backend and slf4j from it, and work, but if you use phoenix-client-embedded, you only get the very limited slf4j-simple backend.

Add reload4j to the assembly, and change the scripts to load those JARs.

Also document that you should use the embedded client, and how to remove the bundled logging jars if you use the non-embedded client.
