Issue body

Clarify the relationship between `--verbose` and `--verbosity`. Previously the help text for `--verbose` was ambiguous when used together with `--verbosity`. This change clarifies that `--verbose` is equivalent to `--verbosity=verbose`. The related unit test has been updated accordingly. Context: canonical/snapcraft#5097
