How do one suppress log messages in AbstractIntakeApiHandler, while using logback?

We have tried setting the level as `OFF` - but it doesn't seem to work for classes that is part of the java apm-agent.

```xml
<logger name="co.elastic.apm.agent.report.AbstractIntakeApiHandler" level="OFF">

```

Hi,

The agent does not relies on logback, which explains why this configuration is not effective.

If you want to change the agent log level you have to use the `log_level` agent configuration.
