kbase: debuglogs: Section off the settings for legacy libvirt

Browse Source 
Move out the settings required to pre libvirt-4.4.0 deployments into a
separate section so that the main point is not cluttered by now mostly
irrelevant settings.

In the config variables above, we have set logging level to 1 (debug level), set
some filters (to filter out noise), e.g. from rpc only warnings (=level 3) and
above will be reported. The logs are saved into
``/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log``. Since libvirt **4.4.0** log filters support
shell globbing, therefore the usage of ``log_level`` is considered deprecated in
favour of pure usage of ``log_filters``.
*Note:* Libvirt prior to the ``libvirt-4.4.0`` release didn't support globbing
patterns and thus requires more configuration. See
`Legacy (pre-4.4.0) libvirt daemon logging configuration`_.
In case you want to get the client logs, you need to set this environment

Legacy (pre-4.4.0) libvirt daemon logging configuration
-------------------------------------------------------
Old libvirt versions didn't support globbing (e.g. ``1:*``) to configure
logging, thus it's required to explicitly set logging level to 1 (debug level)
with the ``log_level`` setting and then filter out the noise with a tailored log
``log_filters`` string.
