CapturedOutput is empty when using Log4J2 StatusLogger

[nosan]

While working on #43575 I noticed that Log4j2 Smoke Tests does not contain a test to verify that DefaultErrorHandler prints an error into the console if StructuredLogLayout throws an Exception.

I added a test to check DefaultErrorHandler prints errors but unfortunately, it did not work since Log42J StatusLogger keeps the reference to the outdated PrintStreamCapture.

Reproducer: main...nosan:spring-boot:log4j2-status-logger

If you run a single test shouldCaptureCustomizerError in SampleLog4j2StructuredLoggingApplicationTests everything will be fine, but if you run all tests in SampleLog4j2StructuredLoggingApplicationTests, the CapturedOutput will be empty and shouldCaptureCustomizerError test will fail.

Possible fix main...nosan:spring-boot:log4j2-status-logger-fix but I am not sure this is the right way.

Thanks @nosan, I've taken your test and a slightly different fix. I hope that's OK. Let me know if you see any potential issues.

Thanks, @philwebb.
I am worried about what happens if someone replaces fallbackListener with their own PrintStream. In that scenario, Log4J2LoggingSystem would overwrite it with System.out.

Maybe reset fallbackListener's stream should be applied only in the smoke-test.

I did a bit of manual testing for that and I think Log4J2LoggingSystem sets the stream before the configuration is applied. In other words, I think it sets the stream to System.out and then the user configuration kicks in and changes it to whatever they want.
