Add --quiet flag to suppress log spam
This pull request adds a --quiet flag to suppress log spam, fixing #22 (which has been noted by many others for the last decade). Specifically, it suppresses three types of messages:
"Supervising _ threads of _ processes of _ users." "Successfully made thread _ of process _ owned by _ high priority at nice level _." "Successfully demoted thread _ of process _."
These messages (especially the first two) are responsible for an annoyingly large amount of journal spam. It is convenient to have the ability to turn them off, but I have made no changes to the default behavior.
rtkit
is significantly more verbose than other services even when it has nothing useful to share. I have pages and pages of this:
rtkit-daemon[4850]: Supervising 0 threads of 0 processes of 0 users.
This PR has been open for almost a year. Is there anything preventing its merge?
Alternative solution for systemd

Thanks, i'm also using the following, which eliminates the debug
-level messages that generate the "Supervising" ones :wink:
IMHO this setting, in the drop-in, should be shipped by default, which would eliminate the need for this PR :vulcan_salute: (See: https://github.com/heftig/rtkit/pull/31)
