To be compatible with console_verbose() semantics, this should also
respect console_loglevel=0. Perhaps by updating
suppress_message_printing() to be something like:

static bool suppress_message_printing(int level)
{
        return (!console_loglevel ||
                (level >= console_loglevel && !ignore_loglevel));
}
