Make use_description() more verbose (again) #287

Description

@jjchern

The create_description() function from devtools prints out DESCRIPTION by default:

devtools::create_description(quiet = FALSE)
#> No DESCRIPTION found. Creating with values:
#> Package: Rtmp5PZ0dI
#> Title: What the Package Does (one line, title case)
#> Version: 0.0.0.9000
#> Authors@R: person("First", "Last", email = "first.last@example.com", role = c("aut", "cre"))
#> Description: What the package does (one paragraph).
#> Depends: R (>= 3.4.3)
#> License: What license is it under?
#> Encoding: UTF-8
#> LazyData: true
#> [1] TRUE

Right now usethis::use_description() only writes the DESCRIPTION file but doesn't print out information. I was wondering if it'd be useful to add a quite = TRUE argument in usethis::use_description(), so that users can have an option to see the output in the console.
