The SNAPCRAFT_VERBOSITY_LEVEL environment variable was ignored because craft-application and snapcraft did not read or forward it. Merging pull request #4699 restored the functionality. The reporter verified the fix.

Issue body

### Bug Description One can set verbosity level either via CLI with a flag `--verbosity=foo` or with a corresponding environment variable `SNAPCRAFT_VERBOSITY_LEVEL=foo`. Doing the latter no longer works, and the default verbosity level is used instead. Other environment variables seem unaffected (like `SNAPCRAFT_{BUILD_INFO,UA_TOKEN}`). ### To Reproduce Install `snapcraft` on latest/edge (tested on 10677 (amd64) and 10926 (riscv64)) Set `SNAPCRAFT_VERBOSITY_LEVEL=verbose` Invoke `snapcraft` for any snap Using `--verbosity=verbose` works as expected. The behavior is as expected in my test-cases using latest/stable. ### Environment Ubuntu ~23.10 on AMD64 and RISCV64. On RISCV64, it's just the simple preinstalled server image for the VisionFive2. In my test cases I was building ubuntu-image and serial-vault-snap. ### snapcraft.yaml ```shell Any snapcraft.yaml should suffice ``` ### Relevant log output ```shell ubuntu@ubuntu:~/ubuntu-image$ env | grep SNAPCRAFT_VERBOSITY SNAPCRAFT_VERBOSITY_LEVEL=verbose ubuntu@ubuntu:~/ubuntu-image$ snapcraft Attached specified UA token Detached specified UA token Generated snap metadata Generated snap manifest Lint OK: - classic: Snap confinement is set to classic.
