Describe the bug

When CDK Watch is used the SDK logger prints verbose logs continuously reducing the utility of CDK watch as it becomes difficult to view the lambda logs as invocations are made. This wasn't happening before. Based on the SDK logger code, it is supposed to print that if debug was true or trace was true or verbose was requested in the cli. In my case they are not set and uses the default. I also tried with debug as false, and trace as false and I was unable to reduce the verbosity.

Refer screenshot for details (The SDK Info log in my case prints continuously for the CloudWatch.FilterLogEvents)

Expected Behavior

SDK Info logs is expected if debug, trace or verbose logging was requested.

Current Behavior

SDK Info logs are always present and it doesn't appear to be configurable.

Reproduction Steps

Running cdk watch on a stack

Possible Solution

If debug is false (default), trace is false (default) and verbose was not requested then SDK Logger should not print SDK Info logs in the CLI output.

I just confirmed that the breaking change occurred in 2.178.0 - 2.177.0 works as expected.

@blimmer I found this change in version 2.178.0 https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/pull/33234/files which might be the root cause for the change in behavior.
