feat(planning_simulator): change nodes arg log level

[gitoabdelgawad]

Description

This draft PR modifies the --log-level argument for nodes, containers, and components launched from planning_simulator.

Often, it is necessary to adjust the log level to DEBUG for more detailed logging or reduce it to WARN or ERROR to minimize output. According to the ROS2 and Autoware documentation, there is currently no method to configure the logger via a configuration file or environment variable. The only way to change a node's logger at runtime is by using services.

This draft PR aims to initiate a discussion to explore if there are better solutions for adjusting the logging level. If no alternative solutions are identified, are such changes suitable for merging.

@gitoabdelgawad Sorry for the late reply.

Being able to dynamically adjust the log level is indeed very useful, especially when debugging or minimizing log output.

However, I believe that specifying each log level in the launch files can be challenging from a maintenance perspective. I would like to hear everyone's opinions on whether there are more effective methods available.

@xmfcx @mitsudome-r Do you have any opinions?
