Added silent to directives

[ptth222]

I am going to create issues about some of the new features/changes I have added so far just to run them by you and discuss some particulars. I'll start with this one. I added the "silent" keyword to all directive types so users can decide directive by directive if they want to see warnings/errors about them. I felt this was necessary as it has become more likely that some non-required directives would print a lot of nuisance messages. Nested directives will inherit the silent state of the calling directive unless it is overwritten. The default is the silent state given through the CLI.

Any questions or comments?

Really like this feature. But I might add an override option from the CLI to print all messages. Also, could add silent## levels that would offer more nuanced silencing. But this is likely not worth the benefit it might provide.
