[Bug 4241] offer a verbosity level that does not log qnames in any case when using logfile

(moving this to the mailing list since the feature request
for privacy preserving logging got closed as wontfix
and this is not directly about that feature request)

How confident are you about unbound logging exactly the same thing to syslog and logfiles?

Here is what makes me less confident that the explanation above
actually applies here.

syslog is configured to include everything:

*.*		/var/log/all.log

-> nothing in the log for multiple hours.


Switching unbound to logfile (from syslog) and in just a few minutes
I get multiple of these multi-line entries (sanitized example):

info: validator: error. failed to classify response message:  ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, rcode: NOERROR, id: 0
;; flags: qr ra ; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 
;; QUESTION SECTION:
***********	IN	AAAA

;; ANSWER SECTION:
***********	****	IN	A	***********

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: ***



Note the "AAAA" vs. "A".

FreeBSD 12.0 
unbound 1.9.1
