Fix Log code size

[Jean-Francois Penven (jepenven-silabs)]

Issue Link:
#MATTER-6305

Description of Problem/Feature:
the macro SL_MATTER_LOG_LEVEL is directly linked to the Matter log level with the default level Progress, even if the LOG_ENABLED macro is set to 0 the actual logs are compiled but excluded (maybe/surely?) at the linking process.

Description of Fix/Solution:
The PR removes the guess work related to the optimization factor and to which toolchain we actually uses. By default no logs string will be compiled unless we override the define in the SLCP file with an Actual log level.

another possible solution would be to add a define switch that sets this level to NONE if LOG_ENABLED is set to false but sometime you want logs, just not from the Matter stack (e.g. OT logs requires LOG_ENABLED to be true in order to get pushed to the UART/RTT)

Testing Done:

Tested locally with a MG24

Pull request overview

This PR reduces firmware code size by changing the default Silicon Labs Matter log level to SL_MATTER_LOG_NONE, so log strings are not compiled in unless an application explicitly opts into a higher log level via its .slcp configuration.

Changes:

• Set the default SL_MATTER_LOG_LEVEL fallback in sl_matter_config.h to SL_MATTER_LOG_NONE.
• Add SL_MATTER_LOG_LEVEL = SL_MATTER_LOG_PROGRESS overrides to many example/application .slcp projects to preserve prior logging behavior by default for those apps.
• Introduce/modify per-app log-level configuration points in project files (note: a couple of apps end up with duplicate SL_MATTER_LOG_LEVEL entries and need cleanup).
