Add option to output warnings from sentry_init() #888

Description

@triplef

If sentry_init() fails, it seems that currently the only way to figure out what caused it to fail is to enable debug logs with sentry_options_set_debug(). It would be helpful to have an option to always output initialization warnings and errors, without also outputting debug output.

This could be achieved by adding a method like this to set the output level:

sentry_options_set_output_level(sentry_options_t *opts, sentry_level_t level);

In the following example logs (obtained by enabling debug logs), calling the above function with SENTRY_LEVEL_WARNING only the logs marked WARN should be output:

[sentry] INFO using database path "C:\..."
[sentry] DEBUG starting transport
[sentry] DEBUG starting background worker thread
[sentry] DEBUG starting backend
[sentry] WARN unable to start crashpad backend, invalid handler_path
[sentry] WARN failed to initialize backend
[sentry] WARN `sentry_init` failed
[sentry] DEBUG shutting down transport
[sentry] DEBUG shutting down background worker thread
[sentry] DEBUG submitting task to background worker thread
[sentry] DEBUG background worker thread started
[sentry] DEBUG executing task on worker thread
[sentry] DEBUG background worker thread shut down
