Pull request overview

This PR updates the shared Log4j version property in the root Maven build, which effectively upgrades the Log4j libraries used across CloudStack.

Changes:

• Bump cs.log4j.version from 2.19.0 to 2.25.5.
• As a result, both org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-api and org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core versions are updated (they both reference ${cs.log4j.version}).

I took a look at the release notes from 2.20 to 2.25, and it seems like there were only 3 noteworthy changes:

1. Build must use Java 17 now.
2. There were some changes on how log4j deals with dates.
3. There was some hardening on how the configuration files are parsed.

I think with a few tests we can make sure points 2 and 3 will not affect us. Point 1 is a non-issue.

That being said, I'll try to eventually test this.
