Description

As logback user, I'd like to have the ability to create structured logs as https://github.com/elastic/ecs-logging-java/tree/master/log4j2-ecs-layout#structured-logging

Currently the community relies on "net.logstash.logback.encoder.LogstashEncoder" to generate structured log statements which leverages `Markers`. Although not ideal, as Markers are intended for filtering: http://logback.qos.ch/manual/filters.html, I think it would be useful if the EcsEncoder could support this scenario without requiring an additional dependency library
