Access log for a tri-state system property. Need to first convert override value to a log level, taking care to interpret a range of values between BRIEF, VERBOSE and SILENT. An override < 0 is interpreted to mean that the logging configuration should not be overridden. The level passed to the factories createLog method will be null in this case. Note that if oldLogName is null and old logging is on, the returned LogStreamLog will ignore the override parameter - the log will never log messages. This permits new logs that only write to Loggers to do nothing when old logging is active. Do not call getLog multiple times on the same logger name. Since this is an internal API, no checks are made to ensure that multiple logs do not exist for the same logger.
