[PD-dev] unifying loglevels

Yeah, that's a general problem we can't really avoid.

Here's another suggestion:

Since logpost() really supersedes verbose(), we could allow t_loglevel 
to be only used with the former (with PD_CRITICAL = 0), but not with the 
latter. We just have to add an appropriate comment, e.g.

/* possible log levels for logpost(). NOTE: don't use with verbose()! */

enum t_loglevel { ... };

This would have the nice side effect of nudging people to use logpost() 
over verbose() for trackable printing.

Existing externals continue to work as expected and everybody is happy.
