Not possible to set `Algorithm.OutputLevel` from commandline?

[Zehvogel]

Or at least I am too stupid to figure out the correct syntax, but when I try something like

k4run mysteeringfile.py --MyAlgorithm.OutputLevel=ERROR

I only get a

k4run: error: argument --MyAlgorithm.OutputLevel/--OutputLevel.MyAlgorithm: invalid int value: 'ERROR'

You would need to convert ERROR to an integer for this to work, which in turn would probably require some custom arg parsing logic. It could make sense to do that for the OutputLevel, but I am not sure about all properties.

Here you have the constants, thanks for the PR @Zehvogel!!!! https://gitlab.cern.ch/gaudi/Gaudi/-/blob/master/GaudiKernel/python/GaudiKernel/Constants.py#L28

As a workaround you can pass the integer value and that will work, like

k4run mysteeringfile.py --MyAlgorithm.OutputLevel 5

Thx for the workaround :)
