    First stab at making ./validate less verbose · bcbb0454

    Summary:
    When we run `./validate`, we are typically given an incredibly large
    heap of information, a large majority of which isn't really
    necessary. In particular, we don't really care about what `make` is
    doing, nor `ghc` itself most of the time.
    
    This reduces some of the output by making `./validate` quietier. By
    running:
    
      $ ./validate --quiet
    
    you'll enable `V=0` in the build, suppressing compiler messages, and
    you will suppress `make` commands by running `make` in 'silent
    mode'. It also runs the testsuite with `VERBOSE=2` to avoid extra
    lines. This alone makes quite a difference for build log sizes.
    
    Furthermore, by making the build logs less verbose, life is easier for
    systems like Harbormaster and Travis-CI, which dislike dealing with
    logs that are 10k lines or more.
