command plugin: Optionally print build logs during packageManager.build

When a plugin asks for a target to be built by calling
packageManager.build, SwiftPM accumulates the build log in a buffer
and returns the whole log when the build completes.   No feedback
is printed on the console while the build is running, so if the
target is large the user can't tell whether the build is making
progress or is stuck.

This commit adds the option to echo logs to the console as they are
produced, in addition to accumulating them in a buffer.   Console
echoing is turned off by default.
