Isaac ConnorandClaude Opus 5 16a2831fe6 fix: weigh a monitor's Importance when logging that a device is unreachable
A speaker that has dropped off the network fails on every command until
somebody fixes it, so that is the one error in IPSpeaker that repeats forever
rather than once. On a monitor deliberately marked unimportant it is noise,
and it buries the failures worth acting on.

Nothing about that is specific to speakers, so the policy goes in Logger as
importanceLevel, with ErrorImportance and WarningImportance alongside the
plain Error and Warning for callers to use. It takes the importance value
itself rather than a monitor, so Logger needs to know nothing about monitors
and callers that have some other notion of how much something matters can
still use it.

zmwatch.pl has been open coding the same idea as
WARNING+$monitor->ImportanceNumber() in three places; it now calls
WarningImportance instead, which is the same arithmetic and so leaves its
levels exactly as they were, including the Not important case that lands in
DEBUG1. That case is pinned by a test rather than quietly corrected: it is
long standing behaviour and not this change's business. zmwatch no longer
needs the logger object it was keeping for logPrint, so logInit() is called
bare there as it is in every other script.

Anything that is not a number counts as Normal, so a caller with no monitor
to ask still reports in full: not knowing how much a monitor matters is no
reason to hide its faults.

IPSpeaker is then a one line change at the call site. Only the failure to
reach the device is weighed; a refusal or unparseable content means the device
answered and something is really wrong, which is worth an error however
unimportant the monitor is, and does not repeat the same way.
