bitbake: bitbake-getvar: Add a quiet command line argument

bitbake-getvar does not have a way to silence bitbake
server's logger and that makes the tool hard to use for
text processing. This is especially true when one wants to
get a bitbake value to be piped to some other utility and
instead we get uncontrolled logging messages or warnings
together with bitbake's variable value.

Example without quiet:
bitbake-getvar --value MACHINE
NOTE: Starting bitbake server...
qemux86-64

With quiet:
bitbake-getvar --value MACHINE --quiet
qemux86-64
