fix(core): Reduce logging overhead for levels that do not output (#7479)

all current logging calls execute `callsites()` to figure out what code
tried to log. This happens even for logging methods that aren't supposed
to create any output. Under moderate load, this can take up quite a lot
of resources. This PR changes the logger to make all ignorable logging
methods a No-Op.

In a small benchmark with a simple webhook, with log-level set to
`warn`, and using `ab -c 50 -n 500
http://localhost:5678/webhook/testing`, these were the response times:
