[Doc] log4j.configuration with relative path seems wrong

[rober...@yahoo.fr]

Hello,

In `Documentation/config-gerrit.txt`, the following Java option is suggested to specify the path to the log4j configuration file:

```

-Dlog4j.configuration=file://etc/log4j.properties

```

It seems to be wrong as the first part (etc) is interpreted as a domain name on my side. The following option works though:

```

-Dlog4j.configuration=file:etc/log4j.properties

```

Does it happen with you as well?

looks like a missing slash for the root directory, I guess it should use 3 slashes: 

-Dlog4j.configuration=file:///etc/log4j.properties
