[MDEP-957] Special case slf4j-simple et al to not report used but undeclared

Originally reported in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHARED-1204?filter=-1

slf4j-simple is often deliberately added to classpaths to shut up annoying warnings from SLF4J at run and test time, even though it isn't absolutely required. Can we do better with our analysis of the common case and similar ones, rather than reporting it as declared but unused?
