Nice new logging feature

[Petr Menšík]

Hi Borja,

In fact there is ancient patch [1] still applied to Fedora builds, which
hides some lame servers warnings. It makes some lame servers category
logs as debug only, shown only when -d 1 option is used.

I was thinking about removing this change some time ago and replace it
with just configuration snippet dropping lame servers message if needed.
But no one complained for years. If you think those messages should be
available, please fill bug on Red Hat Bugzilla [2], bind component.

I have minimized changes to BIND done for Fedora, but this one remained
due lack of feedback. I think configuration example to hide lame servers
messages might be more appropriate, because it would allow changes
without recompilation, just with simple configuration change. Current
builds cannot enable without debug level 1 I am afraid.

Cheers,
Petr
