Research direction

Start by reading BaseKotlinExtension.KtlintConfig and the kotlinGradle configuration path mentioned in the issue. Reproduce the auto-formatting behavior with klint, then verify that the chosen log-level configuration is accepted and changes the diagnostic output, including the proposed enum or string form if supported.

Description

enhancement

I'm using klint for kotlinGradle. I couldn't find how to set the log level in order to figure it out what's causing some changes when auto-formatting.

I guess augmenting BaseKotlinExtension.KtlintConfig with logLevel should do it?

Bonus points for an enum with the log levels — and supporting a string value as well for those who don't want to go back and forth with the imports 😅
