ctr: image pull without progress bar
What is the problem you're trying to solve
the ctr image pull output is too verbose and uses too much space in my terminal scrollback buffer. the progress should be hidden by default, and only be displayed when some argument flag is given.
Describe the solution you'd like
do not show the download progress by default while pulling images.
only show it if explicitly requested. maybe with --verbose.

hello,I pushed this pr to meet this requirement.https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/9672
Is the output being displayed because the following condition should only be enabled when debug mode is turned on? if so, the following condition should drop the not/! condition?
https://github.com/containerd/containerd/blob/be9336fed1a2e5570061da2998a201b111cf22c5/cmd/ctr/commands/content/fetch.go#L134-L136
I think the original purpose is to avoid printing data during debugging. Maybe it is incorrect to modify this code directly.
Please note that ctr is an unsupported development-focused tool and is not recommended as a general-purpose client.
If you wish to suppress the output, how about redirecting to /dev/null? ctr i pull $IMAGE >/dev/null

thank you for your patience, I've got it . (〃'▽'〃)
@samuelkarp Indeed. It's somewhat unsupported, I only use it to fiddle with containerd in a lab scenario. Thou, I hope that improving it a bit is something that is welcomed.
Redirecting the whole output is not what I had in mind. Only the progress is bothering me, because it uses too much space to show something that is not that useful.
