    Change default console log level to WARNING to match sos-2.2
    
    Commit 6ea48cb changed the default log level for console output
    from WARNING to ERROR and reclassified several messages.
    
    This causes plug-in validation messages to be silent at the
    default verbosity.

    Reclasify 'error' messages as 'warning'
    
    Several log messages used the 'error' level when reporting an
    event that is not necessarily an error (and does not prevent sos
    from continuing).
    
    Reclassify these to the 'warning' log level instead.
