If someone runs `meson setup --buildtype plain` meson ignores warning_level=2 that is in our meson.build file. The implication is that Meson will not automatically add -Wall which enables -Wformat. This breaks building libvirt from git with the buildtype set to plain. There is an issue reported [1] to not ignore warning_level silently and the change to ignore it was done by upstream commit [2]. This change makes Meson print warnings about using warning_level which as described above doesn't work for all build types.
