Description

What's the problem this feature will solve?

Having verbose output is nice so progress can be viewed, but when writing the result to a file, it's still output to the console

Describe the solution you'd like

Verbose output can be used without dumping all of the result to the console, when writing to a file

Alternative Solutions

Flag to turn on progress output

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the CLI output handling in the piptools package, likely in piptools/cli.py or similar. Check existing verbose flags and how output is written to file. The issue proposes adding a flag to suppress result output when writing to file. Look at the verbose output code and consider implementing a no print result flag.
