// LOG_VERBOSITY determines the level of logging throughout the plugin.
//   0: Minimum logging. Only plugin manager events will be logged.
//   1: Critical errors. When an error that prevents correct operation of the
//      plugin, attempt to write useful information to the log. Note that since
//      XPC runs inside the X-Plane executable, we try very hard no to crash.
//      As a result, these log messages may be the only indication of failure.
//   2: All errors. Any time something unexpected happens, log it.
//   3: Significant actions. Any time something happens outside of normal
//      command processing, log it.
//   5: Everything. Log nearly every single action the plugin takes. This may
//      have a detrimental impact on X-Plane performance.
