Improve how we determine runtime verbosity

- Assure `-q` reduced computed verbosity
- Use logger instead of print in pre-run phase
- `-q` and `-v` cancel each other, which is a natural expectation

Default verbosity of 0 matches the logging.NOSET level but adding -q
or -qq can reduce logging to WARN or ERROR levels only.

The only visible behavior change is that now the pre-run messages are
no longer displayed unless verbosity is >=1, which most people use
anyway. Previously adding `-q` did not had any effect in reducing
logging verbosity.
