core: don't reset log level to NOTICE if we get quiet on the kernel cmdline
quiet should really just have an effect on the stuff we dump on the console, not what we log elsewhere. Hence: debug on kernel cmdline → interpreted by every tool, turns up log levels to "debug" everywhere. quiet on kernel cmdline → interpreted only by PID 1 (and obviously the kernel) no alteration of the max log level, but turns off status output. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026271.html
