[PD] verbose() and log level

[Antoine Villeret]

after a quick test, it appears that the verbose level should be <= 0 like this :
verbose(-3,"This is a fatal message"); // appears in red with red
background in console
verbose(-2,"This is an error message"); // appears in red with white background
verbose(-1, "This is a normal message"); // appears in black with
white background
verbose(0, "This is a debug message"); // appears in grey with white background

if level is < -3, message is displayed like -1 level.
if level is > 0, message is not displayed at all

and Gem has a verbose method in CPPExtern.cpp which I guess fordward
message to Pd's verbose (but I may be wrong).

Assuming this is the way to use the verbose() function, I will update
all occurrence of verbose in my projects to follow this behavior.

Cheers

A
