support setting output verbosity

This changes the internal use of echo to use a logger instead of sys.stdout.write.

This uses the stdlib logging library, with the common convention of logger = logging.getLogger(__name__), so that all watchdog logs are under the "watchdog" logging context.

Finally, this adds -q/--quiet and -v/--verbose command line options to watchmedo.
