Description
## What problem does this solve or what need does it fill?
Wgpu logs a _lot_ of messages at the trace level. While we filter this out at runtime, the filtering alone is very expensive from the traces we've seen.
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/a47b91ccccd6af2802cab03c8e8c55196c2c5137/crates/bevy_log/src/lib.rs#L163
## What solution would you like?
Use [log's cargo features](https://docs.rs/log/latest/log/#compile-time-filters) to filter out the trace logs.
E.g. `log = { version = "0.4", features = ["max_level_debug", "release_max_level_warn"] }`.
We can make this a bevy-level feature, so that developers wanting to see trace logs or debug logs in release mode could turn this feature off.
## What alternative(s) have you considered?
Add a new feature to disable trace logs within the wgpu crate, letting us keep trace logs from our other crates. Wgpu devs are open to this idea https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/5804#issuecomment-2168080466.
