Documentation is misleading about default value of disable_existing_loggers

[Krzysztof Jurewicz]

Currently the documentation states that

From Django 1.5 forward, the project’s logging configuration is merged with Django’s defaults, hence you can decide if you want to add to, or replace the existing configuration. To completely override the default configuration, set the disable_existing_loggers key to True in the LOGGING dictConfig. Alternatively you can redefine some or all of the loggers.

This suggests that the default value of disable_existing_loggers is False, which is… false, because the defalt value is true. This can easily lead to users unconsciously disabling logging at all in their projects.
