[Aide] verbosity levels

[Rami Lehti]

The original idea behind using the current verbosity levels was to give
room for expansion and a more fine-grained level of control to the user.

Your system will make it very narrow and harder to update. If you want
to add a level in between there you'll have to check all levels again.

And as Axel Rau pointed out it will break current configs and make a lot
of people angry.

Kind regards,
Rami Lehti
