[Libva] [PATCH] Allow control over logging of messages from libva

[Barry Scott]

In our application the messages output from va_infoMessage are
filling log files with uninteresting messages. Which will cause
log rotate to push out other messages of interest.

This patch allows the output of both va_errorMessage and
va_infoMessage to be controlled by the LIBVA_LOG_LEVEL
environment variable. Setting LIBVA_LOG_LEVEL=1 will show
error messages and this is the default. Setting
LIBVA_LOG_LEVEL=2 will show both info and error messages.
Setting LIBVA_LOG_LEVEL=0 will turn off info and error
messages.
