Description

We have a `--verbose` and a `--debug` flag for microceph, but they're not really doing much for some commands, e.g.

```
ubuntu@vm-0:~$ sudo microceph disk list

Research direction

Start by reproducing `microceph disk list`, `microceph disk list -v`, and `microceph disk list -d`, then trace where the `--verbose` and `--debug` flags are handled. Done should mean these flags provide informative additional output for commands such as `disk list`, but the issue does not name specific files, tests, or expected output.
