default log levels: DEBUG for dev, INFO for stable

set the default log level (internal fallback value) to
- DEBUG if the version number indicates this is a preliminary release
  (alpha, beta, dev)
- INFO if the version number indicates a stable release (last part is
  integer, release candidate or anything else

removes the need to check and adappt this manually at every release or
starts of development cycles
