feature request: quiet mode

[famoser]

I run bin/requirements-checker after composer install together with some other checks like security, cghooks, migrations, ...

Unfortunately, even without the -v option, the output contains to me irrelevant details like which php.ini is used or the note that the php.ini file used by the webserver could be different. This pollutes the command line, and its easier to miss other more relevant output of the other commands.

I am only interested in a hard fail/pass to ensure my environment is ready & optimized to develop symfony applications.

Hence I would propose a new -q flag which prevents the output of the informational text like where the php.ini is located or that the command line could use a different config file. If errors and warnings are found, these are however still printed in the same way it would be done without the -q flag.

If this sounds good, I will create a PR in the next days.

We could also print the additional, informative text to stderr. This way you could just ignore the stderr output if u want.

And the -q flag would then disable if the stderr output is redirected to stdout (which would need to be the default)?

This seems strange to me; this would mean we write the informative messages to stderr and the real errors to stdout. Or is there a benefit I am missing? I am not used to console programs.
