Windows (CMake): less verbose output when compiling

[DavidVujic]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The output is too verbose when running npm install to start the build process. Especially the output from the ./configure command creates a lot of log rows in the console.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add these flags to the ./configure command (in the scripts/build.js file):

--enable-silent-rules --quiet

This will shorten the output on Mac OS and Linux machines. On Windows there should be possible to shorten the CMake output too, a feature to investigate!

For configure script we definitely need --enable-silent-rules --quiet flags. For make command we could use either make > /dev/null or --no-print-directory --quiet flags. I will boot into Windows and investigate CMake flags.
Providing additional flag to npm install could reveal suppressed output - it would be very useful during the development process. For example something like ZK_BUILD_VERBOSE=1 npm install.

I have experimented with build on Windows, but with no great success. I did not find any useful CMake flags, but to be completely honest I do not think we need to worry about it. node_zookeeper supports Windows only for development, and as I stated before, for development we should leave the build output "as is".
If someone wants to debug it further, I will be more than glad to help.

I'll leave this issue open, for further investigation if there is possible to do something with the verbose output in Windows.
