Clean up terminal output with verbose mode

[burkeholland]

Currently, the terminal outputs virtually everything from underlying build processes. This makes the terminal extremely cluttered, and it's hard to find log statements because there is so much noise.

For instance, currently when we run tns livesync ios --emualtor --watch, the terminal shells out the following text.

tns livesync ios --emulator --watch

Most of the time, nearly all of this information is irrelevant to the developer. All they need to know is whether or not the command they issued is running, and what it's current status is. You might imagine that it could look like the following....

tns livesync ios --emulator --watch
Preparing livesync .... 10% [ 20%, 30%, ... ]

In the rare cases where the developer wants to see the complete output, they could pass in a verbose or v flag.

tns livesync ios --emulator --watch --v

Hi @burkeholland

With mativescript@next we strip native build output.
We will still show warning and error if such happen, but if native build pass we will just print Project successfully built.

Do you think it is enough or we should further reduce logs?

[rosen-vladimirov]

I consider this issue as resolved. Please open a separate one in case the current output is not short enough.

This is not working after NS 4.0. Output contains lots of unnecessary things.

I'm getting way too much console output in NativeScript 5.0.3 after installing nativescript-plugin-firebase.
