salt-call default loglevel regression

[ryanwalder]

Description of Issue/Question

salt-call docs state that the defaut loglevel should be "info" however in 2016.3.1 it does not show info output without forcing -l info or --log-level info on the command line.

I'm sure it's not just me who uses salt-call for developing salt states, info level output here is essential.

Steps to Reproduce Issue

Run salt-call state.highstate no info log output will show, old behaviour seen with salt-call state.highstate -l info

Hi @ryanwalder - the default log-level should actually be warning, instead of info which was mistakenly changed to info as discussed in #33818 and #33821. I think this is also discrepancy in the documentation, and we need to fix that. The doc you pointed to above says info while the sample minion config file that is provided says warning.

You can set the log level back to info in your minion config file with log_level: info so you don't have to specifically call it with -l info from the CLI.

Odd, I was sure it was info since 0.17 or earlier if running salt-call, not the end of the world, will set it to info in my configs!

Thanks @ryanwalder!
