Use log "level" instead of "priority"
The term "priority" is misleading because higher levels have lower priority. "Level" is clearer and shorter. This commit touches only the textual descriptions, not function and variable names themselves. "Priority" is used in various command-line switches and protocol constants, so completly getting rid of "priority" is hard. I also left "priority" in various places where the clarity suffered when it was removed.
