Description
in the console, hitting "5" is supposed to turn on all tracing, but only the first 7 trace levels are turned on.
We have added 3 additional TraceLevel values since this was implemented without updating the console code:
TraceLevel.UI, TraceLevel.PRELOADER, TraceLevel.RULESET.
none of these can be turned on from the console.

Risk assessment from Andy: This is a very simple no risk fix. It is partially a DRS bug because the DRS implementation created a new TraceLevle, TraceLevel.RULESET. This level, along with the previous 2 added TraceLevels (UI and PRELOADER) , were never set when hitting "5" in Console (which otherwise sets all trace levels.) so DRS users who hit 5 in console were never seing DRS trace statements.

Reproduced with 7u40 nightly #40. Pre-verified with 7u40 nightly #43.
