Add --silent option to configure

[piranna]

Currently compiling Node.js show one line for each file compiled. Add an --silent option like other projects have to only show output on warnings and errors.

I'm fairly sure GYP's Makefile generator doesn't support that, the closest is make V= to make it less verbose.

That solve the problem parcially, showing only the path of the file being compiled instead of the full compilation command. It's an advance, but what I want is to hide all output and output only the warnings and errors.

I understand that but like I said, I don't think GYP supports that. If you feel strongly about it, consider submitting a patch to them.

Another option is building with Ninja, which I personally am a fan of.

Closing, I don't think there's anything for us to do here.
