The "-V" (verbose) command line option is nearly completely redundant
with "io" tracing. Just the time of the printed data is a little bit
different, while the tracing is more informative.

Remove the verbose option.

The current position of trace_io() is a bit annoying in write_messages() 
because it will only be called once the message has been fully written 
to the ring. Can we consider adding a trace_*() when we are about to 
write? (Or maybe queue the message?)


In any case, I think it is odd to enable verbose and tracing separately. 
So with or without:

I'll address that in a future patch by making trace_io() a little bit more
flexible. In write_messages() I'm planning to either write a single trace
record in case the message could be sent in one go, or split entries for the
start and the end of writing the message.
