Describe effect of various levels #47704

It would be nice if the documentation stated the effect of each log level. For example, without further clarification, one must assume that an INFO level will log INFO lines along with WARNING and ERROR lines since they are more severe, but it doesn't state that. It also doesn't really clarify severity hierarchy. For example, if one sets DEBUG, does that list INFO, WARNING, and ERROR along with all the various additional debug info? Or is it JUST the debug. Is DEBUG in the severity hierarchy? Also, ZWave has SILLY and VERBOSE in addition. Where do they fit in?

This all may seem familiar to many of us with SW engineering backgrounds, and perhaps trivial to some, but to most people, I doubt the current documentation adequately describes what each option does, exactly. That could be improved.
