Details:

I am doing some work on patch 6353 and once again got the urge to define some
more log levels, to go with FatalError and Warn.

I grepped around the code for current usage and felt a pretty natural mapping
was:

Notice - 3 (visible by default).
Info   - 5 (used by most stuff that want to be verbose yet not detailed)
Debug  - 9 (used by most of remainder)

I think this maps pretty well onto syslog style levels and the meaning often
associated with them.

Levels 4, 6, 7 and 8 seem very rarely, if at all, used in the codebase.

This patch only adds the levels and does not change all the call sites (let's
see if people agree before anything like that is considered).

I mostly feel it warranted because I feel somewhat dirty using magic numbers
rather than named levels when writing new code.
