[Olsr-dev] DebugLevel that is actually zero

[Henning Rogge]

If we just want to make them to level 1, we might be able to get many
of them with sed.

"grep -R OLSR_PRINTF\(0 *" showed a minimum set of things we have to change it.
"grep -R printf" shows quite a few potential candidates too.

Just be careful not to replace anything before the configuration is read.
