Description

### 💻

- [ ] Would you like to work on this feature?

### What problem are you trying to solve?

I use a custom plugin to collect statistics about the source code and use `babel-cli` for this, but along with useful information, I get the entire source code of the bundle in the console

### Describe the solution you'd like

It would be just great if the `--quiet` option was returned to `babel-cli` so that it doesn't output the transformed code to the console.

In such situations, the output of the module source code is absolutely useless

### Describe alternatives you've considered

I can't imagine what the alternative might be yet

### Documentation, Adoption, Migration Strategy

Research direction

Start by locating babel-cli's option parsing and the code path that prints transformed source, then investigate the previous --quiet behavior in repository history. Done means the CLI accepts --quiet and suppresses the unwanted source output while preserving useful plugin statistics; add or update coverage where the option handling is tested.
