[issue1752] logging.basicConfig misleading behaviour

[Max Ischenko]

New submission from Max Ischenko:

Function logging.basicConfig has a confusing and undocumented behaviour:
it does nothing if there are any handlers already present in root logger.

It could be more explicit, say, by giving a ValueError in such cases.
