Polish log correlation docs

Docs related to gh-33280 (log correlation) and
gh-35593 (application name in each log line) need some polishing:
- Fix project names
- Show how to avoid having the application name duplicated in logs
- Call out that a trailing space is needed in the correlation pattern

Closes gh-36035
See gh-33280
See gh-35593

=== Logging Correlation IDs
Correlation IDs provide a helpful way to link lines in your log files to distributed traces.
By default, as long as configprop:management.tracing.enabled[] has not been set to `false`, Spring Boot will include correlation IDs in your logs whenever you are using Micrometer tracing.
Correlation IDs provide a helpful way to link lines in your log files to spans/traces.
By default, as long as configprop:management.tracing.enabled[] has not been set to `false`, Spring Boot will include correlation IDs in your logs whenever you are using Micrometer Tracing.
The default correlation ID is built from `traceId` and `spanId` https://logback.qos.ch/manual/mdc.html[MDC] values.
For example, if Micrometer tracing has added an MDC `traceId` of `803B448A0489F84084905D3093480352` and an MDC `spanId` of `3425F23BB2432450` the log output will include the correlation ID `[803B448A0489F84084905D3093480352-3425F23BB2432450]`.

If you prefer to use a different format for your correlation ID, you can use the configprop:logging.pattern.correlation[] property to define one.
For example, the following will provide a correlation ID for Logback in format previously used by Spring Sleuth:
For example, the following will provide a correlation ID for Logback in format previously used by Spring Cloud Sleuth:
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
----
logging:
pattern:
correlation: "[${spring.application.name:},%X{traceId:-},%X{spanId:-}]"
correlation: "[${spring.application.name:},%X{traceId:-},%X{spanId:-}] "
include-application-name: false
----
NOTE: In the example above, configprop:logging.include-application-name[] is set to `false` to avoid the application name being duplicated in the log messages (configprop:logging.pattern.correlation[] already contains it).
It's also worth mentioning that configprop:logging.pattern.correlation[] contains a trailing space so that it is separated from the logger name that comes right after it by default.
