[CLI] Quiet mode for all commands #431

Change looks good, but unless I'm misunderstanding something everything should be stdout instead of stderr right?
Side note, we are currently sending errors to stdout in DebugMiddleware. That's another separate fix but I assume those should go to stderr instead and IMO those should not listen to quiet flag?

These should be OutOrStdout no?

Just curious, why this change? can we not have 2 PersistentPreRunE ? (one in root and another in the subcommands?)

A found it spf13/cobra#252

This was causing the subcommands ignore the persistentPreRun at root level which contains -q flag. This was the bug I couldn't solve yesterday but eventually did 😄

Found Slack conversation where stderr vs out was discussed. IMakes sense
