Description
## Is your feature request related to a problem?
When agent logs in ECS format, we can utilize log correlation to our logs as well.
## Describe the solution you'd like
We can enhance our `co.elastic.apm.agent.logging.Log4j2LoggerBridge` to add to slf4j MDC before any logging event and removing after if the log format is JSON.
## Describe alternatives you've considered
Another option is to utilize log4j extension capabilities - `org.apache.logging.log4j.core.util.ContextDataProvider` or `org.apache.logging.log4j.core.ContextDataInjector`
