Make testng verbosity configurable

cpettitt-linkedin · cpettitt-linkedin · commit dc4a445c0591 · 2012-09-18T15:46:00.000-07:00
TestNG apparently lacks the ideal console logging: only log test
failures along with their stack traces. However, it does have a more
verbose logging option that will log this information along with all
tests run (verbose=2).

This change uses default verbosity but allows us to override it for
specific situations. We use higher verbosity when running CI on Travis.
