* Replace CLI options --debug, --trace, --verbose and -v are …

…with `--log-level=<level>` or the short version `-l=<level>.

Closes pinterest#1632

* Allow disabling logging in CLI by setting `--log-level=none` or `-l=none`.

+Logging information is written to `stdout`. The amount of logging can be influenced by setting the minimal log level using option `--log-level` or `-l` to one of values `trace`, `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`, or `none` to suppress all logging.
