Description
### Check existing issues
- [x] I've verified that this request isn't described by any existing issues.
### Request
There should be some verbose flags in the client so users can see what hwctl is doing/sending. Based on the Canonical CLI standards, I think the following levels might be useful with a `--verbosity=` option:
- `brief`: Default and current behavior. Also provide a `--brief` flag (not sure if this is useful/required if `brief` is the default behavior)
- `verbose`: Describe the steps that hwctl is taking, but do not show blobs/body of what it's sending. Also provide a `--verbose` flag
- `trace`: Show what hwctl is doing and sending
### Motivation
This is to align with the Canonical CLI standards and provide more visibility to users on what hwctl is doing.
