feature/improve_plugin_config_for_slicing_plugin

# Description

Adding optional flag for enabling console logging introduced in #14439.
Console logging not working with LLDB-DAP on VSCode as per #14897
Code changes won't fix this because it is a LLDB-DAP issue documented in
#14909

Use flag `-DUSE_SLIC3R_CONSOLE_LOG=ON` or `-DUSE_SLIC3R_CONSOLE_LOG=OFF`
to enable/disable it.
Alternatively in you VSCode's settings.json, 
```
"cmake.configureSettings": {
   "USE_SLIC3R_CONSOLE_LOG": "OFF"
}
```
