[issue9576] logging.addLevelName in file-based configurations

[Vinay Sajip]

While custom levels are supported for the rare cases where they're needed, they're not really encouraged. For example, if third-party libraries each set their own custom logging levels, it would be a headache to integrate them into an application's overall logging scheme.

So I'm not in favour of making it easier to define custom levels via configuration - it's not (meant to be) a common use case.
