The --verbose option of the AWS special agent agent_aws can now be
repeated, like in the other special agents. The short form -v is
also accepted.
This changes what a single --verbose does. Before this werk, it set
the log level to DEBUG and showed the messages of the AWS libraries
boto3 and botocore. Now one -v logs the info messages of the agent
only. Use -vv to also get the debug output of boto3 and botocore.
Without -v or --debug the agent logs nothing, as before.
Checkmk never passes --verbose when it runs the agent, so monitored
hosts are not affected. Only manual runs and custom scripts that call
agent_aws --verbose see less output than before. Change them to
-vv to keep the old output.
