Subject: [PATCH] NO-ISSUE: Disable journald rate limiting in logging test

The "Case Insensitive Log Levels" test fails on ARM when testing
TraceAll because klog verbosity 10 generates ~144K journal messages,
exceeding journald's default rate limit of 10K messages per 30 seconds.
The suppressed messages include the startup config dump line that the
test greps for, making the assertion impossible to satisfy.

Instead of globally disabling rate limiting in all test VMs, scope the
fix to the logging suite: disable rate limiting in suite setup and
re-enable it in teardown.
