MacPorts Base: Support for a lower level of debug output, like ui_trace, or ui_debug2/ui_debug3?

[Christopher Nielsen]

Amusingly enough, I figured out the missing pieces, within 5 minutes of sending this out.

Net-Net, the PR is now at a fully-functioning state - albeit with some cleanup work left to do - but is otherwise ready for review/comment.

Thoughts/feedback welcome, for anyone who’s interested in taking a gander.

And if anyone’s willing to share the secret to the latter, I’d appreciate it, as I’m still scratching my head on that one. (Normally I’d expect that we’d use ‘Tcl_CreateObjCommand’, but that’s not being done - or I missed where it’s being done - for the existing ‘ui_xxx’ logging procedures.)
