This patch adds a log warning when using --verb levels at 7 or higher when running on builds lacking debug support. Since official builds are now built with enable_debug=no, this warning will help developers identify why expected debug messages may not be present in log output.
The test and message output code is omitted when built with enable_debug=yes or enable_small=yes.
