[FLINK-1097] Fixed multiple slf4j bindings when using Hadoop2

I excluded all slf4j-log4j12 transitive dependencies to get rid off the warning that slf4j finds multiple slf4j bindings in the classpath. Additionally, I added log4j-over-slf4j and excluded all log4j transitive dependencies so that slf4j handles also legacy log4j logging messages from dependencies.

This verification will not work.
Think of spaces or escaped ?

Remove space after comma for TupleXX.toString()

It is better to save some bytes when writing the output. Users can always overwrite to `toString()` if they want.
