QEMU Guest Agent logs every ping operation (guest-ping called) which causes excessive logging when monitoring tools ping guests frequently.

Impact:

• In Proxmox environments with monitoring tools (e.g., pulse), each VM/LXC is pinged every 10 seconds
• This generates journal/syslog/eventlog entries every 10 seconds per VM
• Creates unnecessary system and disk I/O load
• Causes log files to grow rapidly

Proposed Solution:
Either remove ping logging entirely or make it configurable via:

• Configuration file option
• Command line parameter
• Log level control
