LoggingUtils (gatk 4.1.4.1 API)

```
public class LoggingUtils
extends java.lang.Object
```
Logging utilities. Hellbender tools use the Picard Log.LogLevel enum as the type for VERBOSITY command line arguments (ideally we would use a log4j level enum, but each log4j level is represented by a static object so there is no proper built-in enum that is compatible with the command line argument framework). Therefore we use the Picard enum as the Hellbender currency and convert back and forth between that and the log4j namespace as necessary. Note that the two namespaces have very similar, but not identical level names, and log4j has a wider set of level values than those supported by the Picard enum. Likewise the java built in logger has a different set of level values which we chose a mapping to.
