Feature Request: ng init - to output npm installing versbosly

Feature Request

Show the npm installing output when the ng init command is run. Like this!

Motivation

For anyone starting with the angular-cli, the first command they typically use is ng init and on all platforms, this is the screen they see.

This can be stuck for at least a few minutes, depending on the internet connection, which can be confusing for new users, as they don't see the familar npm installation output. Basically it makes the npm install look like it could be stuck.

How hard would it be to pipe the output from npm install to the angular-cli?

[mfueser]

At the moment npm is started by the exec-function. All output is buffered and written after return of the command. So that would not be live output.
Maybe that could be changed to spawn, making error-handling a bit tricky.
The feature could be connected to the verbose-flag.

@Meligy so the ng init has been removed as a breaking change?

@benwinding correct.
