My vote is to make the levels 1-based in all locations where we output

I agree with this, pg_get_process_memory_contexts() also use 1-based
levels
fwiw.
+1.
I believe there's no particular issue with starting the level from 1 in
pg_log_backend_memory_contexts().
Regarding the implementation:
In the initial patch attached, I naïvely incremented the level just
before emitting the log line.
However, it might be cleaner to simply initialize the level variable to
1 from the start. This could help avoid unnecessary confusion when
debugging that part of the code.
Similarly, I noticed that in pg_get_process_memory_contexts(), the level
is initialized to 0 in ProcessGetMemoryContextInterrupt(void):
int level = 0;
..
MemoryContextStatsInternal(c, level, 100, 100, &grand_totals, ..
If we want to be consistent, perhaps it would make sense to start from 1
there as well.
BTW level variable has existed since before pg_backend_memory_contexts
was introduced — it was originally used for functions that help inspect
memory contexts via the debugger. Because of that, I think changing this
would affect not only these functions codes but some older ones.
