Enable/disable logging at runtime using C api

[jithunnair-amd]

Hi,
Can we explore whether we can add the ability for a user to enable/disable MIOpen logging at runtime using a C api? The current environment-variable-based approach works well for relatively short testcases, but for a long-running testcase, this can result in a lot of logging output. If we wish to focus only on a section of the workload, it'd be quite useful to be able to turn on/off logging at runtime using a C api.

Variant (B) from #336 (comment) can be used to implement this.

@atamazov Since I am recently looking into a potential MIOpen issue, how far did this get, if at all? It looks like #336 is Done.

[atamazov]

In the same place, as no priority is set for this yet. Nevertheless #336 is a good step towards the goal ;) Please indicate how important is this feature for you, thanks.

@jithunnair-amd Please advise if this still an issue on ROCm 6.0.2? Thanks!

This is done.

We do not know if this feature is really required.
