need to muffle asdf chatter in one operation

[Jean-Claude Beaudoin]

Here is how I described the issue on the mailing list:

In ASDF2 (I am still using 1.661) is it possible turn off
all "informational" output in one single operation?

Looking at the source I see that there is a bunch of
:verbose arguments to most (all?) of ASDF main entry points,
but each of these have hard coded default values of T.
This way one has to pass a ":verbose NIL" pair on each
call to ASDF in order to get silence.

Couldn't we have a *asdf-verbose* global that would
give the default value of those :verbose arguments?

Then a single (setq *asdf-verbose* nil) would allow
the whole thing to go in "run silent, run deep" mode.

P.S.: This is not an ASDF2 regression, ASDF1 had the same limitation.

Hopefully fixed in 1.704, with asdf:*asdf-verbose* variable.

Currently untested / undocumented (maybe open another bug for that).
