Shouldn't Highs header be logged only when the output flags are set to "true"? #1702

After highspy.Highs(), if any variable is added the version header will be logged

Running HiGHS 1.7.0 (git hash: 27ccfaa): Copyright (c) 2024 HiGHS under MIT licence terms

Setting option 'output_flag' to 'false' before adding variables will make the header to not be logged.

Shouldn't the header be logged only when the output flags are set to "true"?

This came to my attention after this

The default setting of 'output_flag' is true, and will remain so. In this, HiGHS is consistent with commercial solver software like Gurobi.

If anyone wants to suppress logging, 'output_flag' must be set to be false before calling a HiGHS method (other than the method to set the option, of course).
