added a method to set the filter given a priority string (instead

of a number).  fixed a comment related to what those priority
strings are.  added a CLOG_PRINT priority which is never filtered
and suppresses the trace info and the priority level message.
it's intended as a way to output a message through the logger
without getting extra output.
