--silent should redirect stdout to the log file

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Some installers (Docker Desktop and the modern SQL Server installer are the ones I know) send lots of log output to stdout when they are ran silently. This makes the winget progress information go away:

Users have found this confusing and have requested that if winget runs a package silently, it is truly silent (i.e. they see nothing except Starting package install...). My solution to that problem is that when the --silent argument is used, winget should redirect stdout for the installer to a log file (much like MSIs, this should be selectable via a argument).

Will there be a fix out for this anytime soon?
