Make WTF Logging runtime switchable, starting with WebCore's Network channel

• Component: Web Template Framework
• Status: NEW ---

[Gavin Barraclough]

Currently WTF logging only works in debug builds; it would be useful if it could be enabled in release builds.

Logging should also support severity levels to enable different granularities (with the potential to vary default verbosity by system capabilities and build style).

Adding new logging macro to support level & moving channels incrementally, since some logging may be expensive even when disabled.

Per conversation with Geoff, Geoff likes log level names "Always", "Customer", "Debug".
