[Nut-upsuser] Fwd: [networkupstools/nut] Hide 'Init SSL without certificate database' message for upsc (PR #1662)

[Jim Klimov]

Hello all,

  Here's a PR I want to ask community about: should NUT clients like upsc
report (log!) or hide the infamous 'Init SSL without certificate database'
message?

  On one hand, it is a reminder that the setup is insecure (plaintext
protocol, might be in an externally provided tunnel but we don't know
that). On another, it is fairly annoying and if it does clutter
syslog/journal from cron jobs etc. - is also somewhat toxic (causes I/O,
uses space) if deployment owner is not going to do anything about it anyway
for whatever reason (LAN, VPN, SSH tunnel...).

  That PR proposes to hide the message by default, with debug level 1. One
alternative is to use debug level 0 so it always pops up on stderr like
now, but does not hit the syslog.

  WDYT?

  If nobody vetoes it strongly, I plan to merge it in say a week.

Jim

This can clutter up logs on things that call 'upsc', such as Munin plugins.
Switch it to upsdebugx() so it's not always output to stderr.
