While this PR does not fix the RCE outlined in #3736, it disables pattern lookups for logging with log4j, making the vulnerability inaccessible (outside of actually changing the log4j config itself).
Additionally, when the next log4j release (2.15.0) becomes available, the dependency should be updated to that, since that release heavily restricts the possible LDAP connections. The changes in this PR are however still relevant, as pattern lookups should still be disabled for messages containing unknown text from outside the software.
