Subject: [PATCH] feat(config): add rsyslog_level field to NetworkConfig for
 syslog severity filtering

Add a LogLevel enum and rsyslog_level field to NetworkConfig to allow
users to control which log messages are forwarded to the rsyslog server.
Only messages at or above the configured severity level are sent.

The LogLevel values (UNSET=0, TRACE=5, DEBUG=10, INFO=20, WARNING=30,
ERROR=40, CRITICAL=50) match LogRecord.Level for consistency.

Default behavior (UNSET) sends INFO and above, filtering out DEBUG
messages to reduce syslog noise.
