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.
