Dephy always logging

[Katharine-Walters]

🐛 Bug Report

FlexSEA DebugLog is always being created regardless of the value of the dephy_log optional argument in the add_joint function.

🔬 How To Reproduce

Setting dephy_log = True and dephy_log = False results in the same behavior

Code sample

self.dev = OpenSourceLeg(frequency=1000, file_name="MBLUEankle_left_actuator_log.log")
self.dev.add_joint(name="ankle", gear_ratio=9, port=self.actuator_port, dephy_log=False)

Environment

RPi 5
Python 3.11.2

Screenshots

📈 Expected behavior

dephy_log = False does not create DebugLog file

Upon further investigation, I have discovered a few things:
-The "dephy_log" bool is passed to the "debug" optional argument in the FlexSEA constructor. Is it unclear from the documentation what this controls, and I was unable to discern a change in behavior/logging when the bool was set to True or False.
-I was able to disable the dephy logging by setting the debug_level=6, which disables the logging in the FlexSEA constructor.

I recommend implementing the following behavior:
-Set default debug_level=4, which is the default logging level in the FlexSEA constructor.
-When dephy_log = False, set debug_level=6, which will disable Dephy logging entirely.
