perf(vegas): trace the content path at DEBUG instead of INFO

plugin_adapter narrates every step of acquiring content from every plugin --
"Has get_vegas_content", "Native: calling get_vegas_content()", "Native
content returned None", "Has scroll_helper", per-item sizes -- once per plugin
per cycle, all at INFO.

Measured on a live rig: 13,408 log lines an hour, of which 13,366 were INFO
and 35 were WARNING. Roughly 223 lines a minute of string formatting on a Pi
that is also driving the panel, written through journald to the SD card, with
the 35 lines that actually indicate a problem buried among them.

Top repeated messages in that hour:

    717  Scroll progress: elapsed=... total_scrolled=.../... px
    399  [plugin] --> INCLUDED in Vegas scroll
    323  [plugin] content_type=static, display_mode=fixed
    195  [plugin] Has get_vegas_content: True
    195  [plugin] Native: calling get_vegas_content()
    168  [plugin] Native: get_vegas_content() returned None
    168  [plugin] Native content returned None        <- the same fact, twice

54 logger.info calls in plugin_adapter become logger.debug, along with the
per-frame scroll-progress line in scroll_helper. Together those are 3,174 of
the 13,408 lines an hour, a 23% cut, and the ~3,600 odds-manager lines are
addressed separately by ledmatrix-plugins#300.

Nothing is lost: the 19 warning/error/exception calls in the module are
untouched, so real failures still surface at their own level. This is a
logging-level change only -- no control flow, no behaviour.

One INFO call is deliberate and stays. The padding-strip message picks its
level at runtime (`logger.warning if (left and right) else logger.info`) and
test_vegas_plugin_adapter.py pins that choice; it survives because it is not a
direct logger.info call site. That test still passes.

Mutation-checked both ways: reintroducing a single INFO trace fails the guard,
and demoting the warning/error calls along with the trace fails a second guard
written for exactly that mistake. 537 vegas and scroll tests pass.
