Subject: [PATCH] Quieten System logs

Attempt to quieten the amount of log noise being generated by some of the birdnet services visible in the syslog and daemon.log

Recording service
When using RTSP streams the recording service  is generating massive amounts of noise in the logs as it's basically outputting all it's startup info and also outputting stream and export info.
- Set the log level to only output errors

Also the birdnet_recoding service script is outputting it;s contents, I assume was doing this because of the set -x option at the beginning,
-Commenting this fixed that issue

Analysis Service
Small change to this it doesn't output a error when it can't find today's recording directory. It's a non issue if your recording via sound card but it pops up a bit when using RTSP streams as that directory is never created.

Livestream Service
Same treatment as the recording service, set log level to error. It was previously set to info and would occasionally output a massive chunk of output.. presumably abut the encoding processes.
