Improve the debugging infrastructure by adding mechanism to dynamically

increase/decrease log levels

This new pg_msgmodule_change() function can be used to increment or decrement
compile time defined log levels by the given step. Of course, this is only
applicable to DEBUG1-5 and LOG messages and the resulting new level is also
within the same range. This only affects whats gets logged on the server log
and not what gets sent to the client
