subscriber: fix max_level_hint for empty Option/Vec Layer imp…

…ls (#2195)

## Motivation

These are incorrect: currently, when you have a `None` layer, the `None`
hint it returns causes the default `TRACE` to win, which is inaccurate.
Similarly, `Vec` should default to `OFF` if it has no `Layer`s in it

## Solution

Change the default hints to `Some(OFF)`
