Description

Hi there,
it would be really handy if `cargo-chef` had a "very verbose" (`-vv` = very verbose/build.rs output) flag like cargo itself.

So that when you are building complex C dependencies it doesn't seem like the build process got stuck somewhere (idk if you can relate).

If you want me to I can also have a look at the codebase and open a PR :)

Research direction

Start by tracing how cargo-chef invokes cargo and how its CLI handles verbosity. Compare the requested -vv behavior with Cargo's very-verbose output, then run the relevant cargo-chef command against a project with a build.rs; done means build.rs output is visible under -vv.
