[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 06/11] eal: catch invalid log level number

The parsing check for invalid log level was not trying to catch
irrelevant numeric values.
A log level 0 is now a failure in options parsing so it can be caught early.
A log level higher than the max (8) is accepted with a warning message.
