--silent is not silent

[alaniwi]

Publishing with --silent still produces a lot of output.

Example (with file paths edited):

$ esgpublish --silent --test -i /path/to/esg.ini --map /path/to/CMIP6.CMIP.MOHC.UKESM1-0-LL.historical.r1i1p1f2.AERmon.emidust.gn.v20190406.map --cert /path/to/certificate-file
Parameters:
  --files <string> ["/path/to/CMIP6/CMIP/MOHC/UKESM1-0-LL/historical/r1i1p1f2/AERmon/emidust/gn/v20190406/*.nc"] 
  --in_json <string> [""] 
  --out_xml <string> [""] 
  --out_json <string> ["/tmp/tmp9w4tldez"] 
  --out_pretty <bool> [true]

It a misnomer as more accurately minimal verbosity
To make --silent (1) see if we can capture console output from the autocurator subprocess and suppress that.
(2) open an issue with CMOR to suppress PrePARE output. That is if its helpful for workflows to have bonafide "silent" operation.
Alternative, rename the option. --suppress-output is long
