Let's go with two levels (info and verbose) and a single `-v ` flag to enable the verbose level.
Keeping consistent the way people use many logging levels across the whole project is hard (i.e. different people might have different ideas about to distinguishing `warning` from `info`). A distinction between verbose and non-verbose messages should be easier to agree on.

As for the changes in the code, let's make the current `log` function emit info messages and add a `vlog` function that emits "verbose" messages. Verbose message are only output when `-v` is passed.



================
Comment at: clangd/JSONRPCDispatcher.cpp:312
+          // Log the formatted message.
+          log(llvm::formatv(Out.Pretty ? "<-- {0:2}\n" : "<-- {0}\n", *Doc));
+        }
----------------
Since we're replacing `log` with `vlog` here, could we add a normal info `log` that captures the name of the LSP method?  
And `log` with LSP method name should probably go before `vlog` with message contents, that's easy to achieve by moving the logging code into the body of `Dispatcher.call`
