Description

cf. https://github.com/chef/chef-dk/issues/617

It can be difficult to track down some kinds of issues in this command, being able to see the full debug output (possibly putting the embedded chef run into debug mode, too) would be helpful.

Research direction

Start at the chef generate command entry point and inspect how command-line flags and debug output are currently handled. Done means that chef generate -D exposes full debug output, with the embedded Chef run also considered if it is part of this command's behavior.
