fix(web): stop dumping the config and request headers to the journal

save_main_config logged its entire POST body and the full request headers at
ERROR on every save. The body is the configuration itself, and the headers
carry the session cookie, so a routine settings change wrote both to the
journal -- at a level that guarantees they survive any sane log filter.

The lines are leftover debug output: they say "DEBUG:" in the message while
calling logging.error, and they went through the root logger rather than the
module logger, bypassing the level configured for this blueprint.

Replaced with a debug-level line recording the shape of the request, which is
the part with diagnostic value. The local `import logging` went with them; it
shadowed a module-level import that was already there.

-"""The captive portal's fixed-argument sudo calls must be granted.

-The installers write two allow-lists, /etc/sudoers.d/ledmatrix_web and

-cannot supply, so it fails.

-Four such calls were ungranted, all of them captive-portal teardown/setup:

-Scope, deliberately narrow: this pins the four commands above, each of which

-here. A rule covering them needs a trailing wildcard, and
-`iptables --modprobe=/path/to/anything` runs that path as root, so
-`NOPASSWD: iptables *` is a root shell for the web user by another name.
-Closing that half needs a privileged helper that builds the rules itself and
-takes only an interface and a port, granted the way safe_plugin_rm.sh already
-is. That is a design decision, not a one-line grant, and belongs in its own
