log4j DailyRollingFileAppender不支持只保留最近n天的数据，时间一久导致日志文件很多，并且一天的文件有可能比较大，所以自己写了个appender，以解决这两个问题。
具体代码实现如下：
package com.mytools.common.log4jext;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileFilter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Writer;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.TimeZone;
import org.apache.log4j.FileAppender;
import org.apache.log4j.Layout;
import org.apache.log4j.Level;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout;
import org.apache.log4j.helpers.CountingQuietWriter;
import org.apache.log4j.helpers.LogLog;
import org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggingEvent;
/**
* log4j appender扩展
* （1）按天并且只保留最近n天的
* （2）如果一天的文件过大，可以按配置的大小将一天的文件进行切分
*
* @since 2016-6-13
