Hello,

btrfs send puts a “At subvol …” on stderr, which is very annoying in
scripts, esp. cron-jobs. Piping stderr to /dev/null does suppress this
message, but also error-messages which one would probably want to
see. I added an option to not change the behavior of btrfs send
and possibly break existing scripts, but moving this message to
verbose would be O.K. for me too.

We should use the current verbosity option. For compatibility reasons,
I'd keep the 'At subvol' printed as default, matching verbosity level 1.
All existing messages verbosity should then become 2, and the proposed
quiet option 0.
