KAFKA-6317: Maven artifact for kafka should not depend on log4j
It should only depend on slf4j-api (like kafka-clients). The
release tarball still includes log4j and slf4j-log4j12.
Manually verified that there are no duplicate dependencies
in the release tarball and `./gradlew core:dependencies`
looks good.
