#510: Reduce default verbosity
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  hinder       |       Owner:  eschnett
     Type:  enhancement  |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  minor        |   Milestone:          
Component:  SimFactory   |     Version:          
 Keywords:               |  
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 SimFactory has an option --verbose which defaults to True.  This has been
 useful while SimFactory was in heavy development and there were frequent
 problems and errors where the extra information provided by --verbose gave
 useful context to debugging.

 Now that SimFactory is in regular production use with fewer problems, and
 the plan is to make it the default for the Einstein Toolkit, I propose to
 change the verbosity to False.  This makes the tool appear less
 intimidating for new users and leads to an overall smoother, slicker
 experience.  All information should be available in the simulation log
 file for debugging purposes if required.

 The attached patch implements this.  There are still some messages which
 are output anyway, and these will need to be addressed one by one.  Also,
 the --verbose setting does not appear to propagate across remote
 invocations of simfactory.  But these are separate from the decision to
 make --no-verbose the default.
