Description
We could want to deprecate the fuzzy --verbosity option which was always a moving target, in favor of things like:
--mute-cracks
--mute-rules-logging (this should be default for `--pipe` mode so we may also need `--show-rules-logging`)
--mute-mode-info (eg. for incremental and subsets modes printing state information)
--mute-buffer-fill-warnings
--show-autotune
--show-worksizes

Research direction
No source file or test is named; start by locating the command-line handling for --verbosity and tracing how its output categories are selected. Done means the fuzzy option is deprecated and the proposed mute/show options have defined behavior, including the --pipe default, with tests covering those modes.
