    Improve logging documentation
    
    The default severity was removed by commit
    6ce8fd4cfa2e9b1e92debd204a5b2ddf053cca55 (ticket 8630) but the example
    still talks about it; remove that text.  Add a note about the default
    being syslog if nothing else is specified, and a note on how to
    disable logging.
