printk: allow setting DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LEVEL via Kconfig

We've been burned by regressions/bugs which we later realized could have
been triaged quicker if only we'd paid closer attention to dmesg.  To make
it easier to audit dmesg, we'd like to make DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LEVEL
Kconfig-settable.  That way we can set it to KERN_NOTICE and audit any
messages <= KERN_WARNING.
